As the episode title would imply, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Psychonauts, with Jonah revealing he’s a total fanboy and backed the sequel for over $800. He also has no idea what Oxenfree is, since he hadn’t played it yet. (He has, and realizes he was completely wrong about it being like Cabin in the Woods.)
The news:
- Captain Falcon was almost the mascot of the SNES
- Hackers have already infiltrated the Call of Duty: WWII open beta
- Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘ non-violent discovery tour update wants to teach you history

- Zynga partners with 7-11
- Nintendo 3DS close to HD console abilities?
- Farmville heading to iPhone
- Customize guitar instruments in the new Guitar Hero
This week’s question of the week: What will get you into the Guitar Hero series? RPG-style play? Huge song collection? Or, perhaps multiple mics with keyboard play get you back into the genre?

This podcast marks the beginning of the end of Paul’s tenure as a regular co-host, as he will be leaving at the milestone episode 400. He and Jonah both bemoan the loss of last week’s taping, as it had laughter, tears, outrage and a long comic book conversation, but this episode more than makes up for it with items that make Paul squee.
The news includes:
- Portal, Doctor Who, The Simpsons and more confirmed for Lego Dimensions
- Report: Xbox One 60fps game DVR capture goes live
- Nintendo partners with Universal Parks to create themed rides and attractions
- Microsoft teases big Rare reveal at E3
All this and some nifty Listener Feedback.
