This week’s episode is very long to make up for the crappiness of last week’s episode, and the crew have fun with the trolling of Target critics this past week.

The news this week includes:

Guillermo del Toro quits videogame development
There is no suspend feature for Steam Machines
Gamescom sets attendance record
Chinese console crowdfunding project manages to rip off PS4 and Xbox One

This and Listener Feedback.

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.

Paul is back from being deathly ill, and joins a half-asleep Jonah and Scott, where he and Scott try to have better timing. There’s no Gaming Flashback this week but plenty of weird news.

The list of news items include:

Disturbing portrait of Konami corporate environment alleged
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: player choices more impactful, boss fights optional
ZombiU drops the “U,” preps for August launch on PC, Xbox One, PS4
Fallout 4 fan releases schematic for 3D printed Pip-Boy
Vote to play coming soon for PS Plus members
Hitchhiking robot is decapitated, left in a ditch

There’s a new Question of the Week that wasn’t going to be the Question – listen and find out what it is.
