Episode 449: More Technical DifficultiesEpisode 449: More Technical Difficulties

For the second week in a row, the podcast has had some technical issues. This time the problem was less, but there are still present. Part of the reason is that the mic is subpar, the other is that the PC it’s being recorded on has a damaged fan. That said, this week’s episode (and the unreleased episode) were really good. The unpublished one will be issued at some future date when we all need a break (maybe over the Christmas week.)

This week’s episode includes:

Assassin’s Creed 3 goes free, murders Ubisoft servers in the process
After Blizzard shutdown, legacy World of Warcraft server returns this month
Halo 5: Forge custom game browser is launching on PC this week
Report: Nintendo Switch will get GameCube Games

Let us know what your favorite 2016 game has been.

Episode 490: Switch EmulationEpisode 490: Switch Emulation

This week’s episode was recorded on time, but publication was late thanks to power outages again. There’s no discussion of Nintendo’s $70 cardboard arts and crafts project (that’ll be the subject of the next episode), but a Switch emulator does get some discussion.

The news this week:

Battlefield 1 is setting one of its maps free this week
LEGO Incredibles 2 and DC Villains games reportedly in the works
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle has nabbed a Western release date
Stardew Valley creator teases multiplayer

This week’s Question of the Week is again “What popular game did you play long after its initial release?”
