This week is a celebration of the 250th episode of the Videogame Roundtable, and Dan Quick is back for the special edition, joining fellow PolyCaster Scott Dirk. However, TJ Denzer was at the bowling alley, so he wasn’t available. There’s a lot of Cards Against Humanity and Town of Salem talk, as well as a lot of long-missed byplay between Dan and Jonah Falcon. Unfortunately, Paul Nowak couldn’t make it.

The news this week includes:

Bethesda working on a “bleeding-edge” RPG
Diablo II gets first official patch since 2011
Forza Motorsport 6: Apex won’t crossplay with Xbox One version
Nintendo explains why only the New 3DS plays SNES games
U.S. DoJ increases hostility towards Apple in latest court filing

Let us know what you think.

Jordan is back, and even though he’s not 100%, he’s still well enough to do the podcast. He and Jonah discuss what things make them stop playing a game, while the rest of the podcast is all about Grand Theft Auto V. They also get into discussions about laserdisc players.

The news includes:

Microsoft: Women make up 40% of Xbox Live audience
Rumor: Steam Box announcement on Monday
Grand Theft Auto V hits $1B in sales after 72 hours
Dead Rising 3 “frame-locked at 30″ on Xbox One

All this and Listener Feedback, as well as the Question of the Week, “When will the current generation of consoles discontinue?”

Depressingly, sexual harassment in a development studio is once again the lead news item this week, and from a studio most gamers would never think it could happen. That, and major seismic shifting in the power structure of the digital storefront landscape.
