CES 2012 is going strong, as Jonah and Jordan do tonight’s podcast without Paul, who is packing for a trip. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the notorious Custer’s Revenge, and a punch of intriguing news and rumors comprise this week’s topics:
- Fallout MMO rights belong to Bethesda as Interplay settles
- Pachter sez there’s “zero chance” of PS4 at E3 2012
- Rumor: Next Xbox tablet-based?
- Rumor: Kaz Hirai to return as president of Sony
- Diablo III release held due to South Korea (from GameFront)
Plenty of Reader Feedback this week, which is good because we forgot to include a Question of the Week this time.

- EverQuest Next gameplay revealed, accepting beta registration
- Blizzard confirms Project Titan overhaul, “unlikely to be subscription-based”
- EA claims freedom of speech in NCAA lawsuit appeal, court rejects it
