Episode 249: Milestone Looming

For those of you good at math, you might notice that the TD Gaming Podcast is one episode away from a special number. While we have a surprise in store for loyal listeners, there’s still this week’s news to discuss. For starters, the classic Silent Hill 2 is the subject of the Gaming Flashback, even though none of the podcasters have gotten a chance to actually play it.

There’s also some interesting news to discuss, including:

  • Christian group accuses The Old Republic of “warping kids” with pro-gay message
  • Rumor: Next Harmonix project being released on XBLA, PSN, and Facebook
  • EA Sports: SSX will bring extreme sports videogames back to prominence
  • Xbox 720 rumors springing up like wildfire
  • PS Vita continues to struggle in Japan
  • SNK brings Neo*Geo back as a handheld

There’s plenty of Reader Feedback, but there’s no Question of the Week, because there’s a special episode coming up. Ooooh, what could it possibly be?

  1. @The Old Republic of “warping kids” with pro-gay message:
    … something tells me that being gay is not an acquired taste, so I have my doubts about “warping”.

    @Rumor: Next Harmonix project being released on XBLA, PSN, and Facebook
    You know what? I’m gonna call any game/genre that requires a new/dedicated controller a fad.
    I don’t care about fads. Next!

    @ extreme sports videogames back to prominence
    Dunno. People who like extreme sports will just do the sports.

    @SNK brings Neo*Geo back as a handheld
    Emulators, people, emulators. Apply the right filtering and you can play it on pretty much on any resolution.

    Paul, I’m not making names up. Worst case, I spell them badly.

    If you can’t figure out a good question of the week, you can use this one: “What would be a good question of the week?” 😉

  2. There’s a reason for no question of the week? I’m anxious to know what’s coming up in episode 250, I wonder what could be that special in a podcast.

    @Vita: I’m just going to repeat last week’s comment which didn’t get posted: No surprise here to me. I knew that the PS Vita was going to have a rough launch no matter how good they say it is. It has to appeal to the masses and have good software for it to sell.

  3. sup .i really missed 2 episodes and this new one, just came here to say that oliver lance and oliver are the same. @special 250th episode I really hope that you could get derrick and jennifer in the podcast coz I really miss em…still downloading this episode

  4. Sup.
    @=The Old Republic of “warping kids” with pro-gay message . I mostly disagree with lesbians and gays coz I am a christian myself and i have been wanting to punch gays on my class BUT its not Biowares fault coz its how you allow your kids its your parents fault if they allow you to play those “gaymes”
    @PS Vita continues to struggle in Japan
    Now this is what happens if you make a portable console then you smash all the good things together ,I MEAN wth its like a DS on steroids

    BTW oliver and oliver lance are the same .I wish the special would be Derrick and Jennifer hosting the show
