The number of the episode does not escape notice from the podcast crew, especially a week before April 20. Aside from that, much is made of the release of Dark Souls III, which T.J. Denzer enthusiastically enjoys. The despicable firing of Alison Rapp is also noted from the unaired podcast recorded last week.

This week’s news includes:

Former head of Rockstar North sues developer, alleges $150M in unpaid royalties
Oculus apologizes for Rift shipment delay, taking steps to speed delivery
The Nintendo NX might include Wii U ports
Forbes claims Nintendo NX will likely output 4K
