Thanks to the influenza bug ravaging the United States right now, there’s no podcast this week. Check us next week for our pre-E3 podcast, however.

Paul returns to the Gaming Podcast, having doing the major work on the Facebook game he’d been helping develop, Team USA Pinsanity. The trio argue over boss battles, and this week’s Gaming Flashback is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Jordan also finally has a great Vita game to fawn over, Tearaway.

No, really, this episode is one of the worst ever released – boring news, stilted dialog, bad jokes. At least the first news item allowed the crew to rip Pixels. So bad Jonah didn’t bother editing it.
The news items include:
- Anti-piracy group hits indie creators for using the word “pixels“
- Rare Replay studio’s first UK chart-topper since Banjo-Kazooie on N64 in 1998
- More Diablo is coming
- Games for Windows “wasn’t the right approach” says Microsoft
No Listener Feedback or Question of the Week either. That’s how bad this episode was.
Episode 272: Whinny 8Episode 272: Whinny 8
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.
