The episode is posted a little late due to unforeseen circumstances, and focuses on Kickstarter videogames, both failures and successes. The podcast also asks Pokémon Go fans if they really needed those tracking software for the game.

This week’s news includes:

“Other surprises” in store for NX, says Ubisoft
Fixes promised for botched Marvel Ultimate Alliance ports
Pokémon Go fans rage as tracking site shuts down
PlayStation VR requires about 60-square feet of space to use

Let us know what you think.

This week’s podcast has been seriously delayed due to Jonah’s computer going belly up, then having to deal with reinstalling everything. Not to worry, however, since everything on the old hard drive was saved, learn more at desky.com.au. If that weren’t enough, Jonah is enjoying his new Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition.

The news of the week includes:

EA responds to community criticism of Battlefront 2 unlock system
L.A. Noire remaster requires 29GB, forcing Switch version to require MicroSD card
Physical media still “nation’s format of choice” for video games, says eBay
Xbox One S available for lowest price yet

If that weren’t enough, there’s about 30 minutes of outtakes we’re saving for the future as the gang talks about 2018. But that’s for an Outtakes episode.

It’s another brief episode as frictions rise between New Yorkers Jonah Falcon and Paul S. Nowak, while Washington State native Jordan Lund looks on. This week’s gaming flashback in the Nintendo 64’s The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, as well as the following news items:

GameStop pulls PC copies of Deus Ex: Human Revolution off the shelves
Penny Arcade Adventures returns
Epic Mickey 2 leaked
Electronic Arts rewords controversial Origin EULA

This week’s Question of the Week: Are you interested in Epic Mickey 2?

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
