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!
