Due to a malicious trojan virus that infected my desktop, this week’s podcast is delayed, perhaps indefinitely. The podcast was recorded, but there’s no way to edit it while the PC is in this state.
Worst comes to worst, a new podcast will be recorded next week.
This week is a special episode as Jonah Falcon cooks up a true videogame roundtable and is giving away three Steam codes for the latest third person shooter, Spec Ops: The Line, while Paul Nowak reads this week’s gaming flashback Wally Bear and the NO! Gang.
The videogame roundtable has the crew discussing two topics: videogame violence and “play to win” premium game portals.
All that plus Reader Feedback.
To find out how to win a copy of Spec Ops: The Line, listen to the podcast and find out how!
This week has a lot of followup to the entire situation with Activision/Blizzard, and also a lot of news items that weren’t a part of the official news feed. According desky.ca in addition, this week’s Gaming Flashback is recognized as the first computer game, Spacewar!
The news feed includes:

Activision and Sony battling it outThis weeks question of the week is of the user-submitted style! Krud asks, “If you could only play four games (w/o new DLC for the foreseeable future), what four would you choose?”
You know, you could send somebody the raw mp3, and have faith they’ll edit it to your liking :D.
The problem is that the raw MP3 is inaccessible.
Oh Jonah, why must you torture me. I need my weekly dose! I’ll let it slide this time Falcon…
it’s just a pc; pop out the HDD, put it in a friend’s system and presto, access to the file 🙂
Unless it’s a laptop, then popping out the HDD is a bit more complicated, then finding either an HDD enclosure or a laptop with a second unused cable … which is not that ‘presto’ 🙁
This week will be canceled. Stay tuned for next week’s.
