This week’s episode has a lot of … personality. That is, a lot of mockery, cursing, sniping, and general chaos – making it one of the best podcasts ever. Jordan Lund wasn’t available due to commitments at work, so Dan Quick once again filled in, and as expected, got along with Paul S. Nowak famously, as they tagteamed Jonah Falcon. In the meantime, the Gaming Flashback this week was Civilization II.
This week’s news also made Paul explode. Twice:
- Congressmen want warning labels on all games
- Exec: Console version of Diablo III will be “full Blizzard experience”
- Grand Theft Auto V details allegedly leaked
- EVE Online FanFest Panel accused of “tasteless” behavior
- Rumor: Microsoft to release ‘Xbox Lite’ before next-gen
The winners of The Darkness II contest were also announced. All this in an episode bursting full of good, old-fashioned bitchiness.

This week’s episode has heated arguments between Jordan and Jonah, as this new podcast runs a little long. However, there are tons of news items to make up for the lack of a new show last week.
The news items include:
- Bethesda’s Hines unexcited over next-gen console launch
- Borderlands 2‘s melee skill tree for Zer0 “thanks to them ignoring” Pitchford
- EA’s Gibeau brags he has not green-lit any single player games
- Valve responds to angry indie developers over $100 Steam Greenlight fee
- Crystal Dynamics: Lara Croft had become “unrelatable“
- City of Heroes may be saved from shutdown
- Ron Gilbert blames point and click adventure stagnation on DOOM
The contest continues – just mention what your favorite game from the 2000’s was – and a winner will be announced next week.
