This week’s episode has Jonah ranting about the shoddy QA in Batman: Arkham Origins, while Jordan admits he never used those Xbox Live cards that came free with some games. In the meantime, the Gaming Flashback is the classic Apple ][ game Bolo.

Rumor: Xbox One SDK plagued by eleventh hours bugs
Apple sells 33.8m iPhones, 14.1m iPads in September quarter

This week is on the short side, though Jonah and Jordan discuss pop culture like Red Letter Media, The Venture Bros. and Cave Johnson’s lemon ranting. There’s no Gaming Podcast or Gaming History, but there’s plenty of Listener Feedback and news items.

The news includes:

Source: RI governor Lincoln Chafee deliberately torpedoed Studio 38
UK online retailer SimplyGames enforcing PS4 bundles
Half-Life 3 removed from trademark registery – Portal 3 appears
The Last Guardian developers “re-engineering” the game, never was on “hiatus”
Grand Theft Auto Online microtransactions disabled while server issues persist

No “Question of the Week” – this week is Listener Questions – send ’em in!

This week’s podcast has Jonah having a new job, while some really long Listener Feedback letters lengthen the podcast. In fact, several discussions between Jonah and Jordan were cut and will be in a near-future Outtakes episode.

This week is full of news as well, including:

Star Wars 1313 was to have starred Boba Fett after all
Shadow of the Eternals dev Precursor Games disbands
Techland: Dying Light isn’t another Dead Island
China lifts console ban, Microsoft collaborating with BesTV to make new console
Watch Dogs ships on two discs, requires install, 30 FPS cap on Xbox One and PS4

That plus the long Listener Feedback, and Jordan has an appeal to veteran listeners to write in.
