Episode 272: Whinny 8Episode 272: Whinny 8

July 25, 2012| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:27 pm

This week’s Gaming Podcast deals with Jordan Lund discussing how much negative flak Windows 8 has been getting, Daniel Quick being his usual Canadian self, Paul Nowak returning triumphantly, and Jonah Falcon just taking infamy in stride. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the derided Super Pitfall! for the NES.

As far as the news:

“Super-slim” PS3 will be a no-show at Gamescom
UbiSoft claims lack of new consoles penalizes creativity
Diablo III ‘God mode’ exploit for Wizard discovered
EA: Nintendo “on track to become primarily a software company”
Electronic Arts settles in Madden and NCAA monopoly suit

There is no Question of the Week – rather, the crew is waiting to hear your questions for them instead.

This week’s Gaming Podcast lacks Paul S. Nowak, who had to bow out due to illness, but there’s still Jonah Falcon, Jordan Lund and Daniel Quick to keep the podcast lively. This week features yet another weird NES title, Wall Street Kid, and some friendly Paul-less banter between the trio.

This week’s news includes:

Capcom: Street Fighter X Tekken DLC will never come to Xbox 360
Vivendi finding few buyers for Activision-Blizzard
Gearbox: “Wouldn’t be surprised” if more aggressive PC games start to appear
Grand Theft Auto V will support planes and jets, won’t have beta test

Jonah also startles Dan and Jordan with a “secret topic” with the $99 console, the Ouya, which leads to the Question of the Week, “Would you buy a $99 Android-based console?”

This week is the battiest episode Gaming Podcast has ever done, and it’s not just because the crew argue over the first news item more emotionally than usual, but because it’s full of Batman. Lots of Batman. Plenty of Batman. In addition, the winners of the Spec Ops: The Line contest were also picked.

The news items this week include:

Square Enix exec says long console lifespans “biggest mistake”
No fee to be charged for connecting to Wii U network
Next Rocksteady Batman game will feature Silver Age Bats
Michael Fassbender pegged to star in Assassin’s Creed flick

All that and the question of the week, “Which Batman would you most like to see a game made from?”

The videogame roundtable has the crew discussing two topics: videogame violence and “play to win” premium game portals.

All that plus Reader Feedback.
