This week’s episode was delayed due to serious Windows issues this past week. The episode was saved, however, and is 90 minutes full of discussion. The podcast deals with a lot of console hardware rumors.

All this and Listener Feedback.
This week’s podcast was delayed in publishing thanks to the holiday week being more hectic than usual. However, better late than never, and there’s even some listener feedback included!
The news items include:
Let us know what you think.
When you’ve had a bit too much to drink, there are two choices: move on to tequila shots or… Mario Party for the Wii! Mario Party is amazingly fun when you’ve had a few too many drinks while sober it’s mearly “meh.”
Now, Ubisoft is trying to capture the drinking demographic, or more appropriately, the party crowd. The goal is to create a mini-game set created for partying and having fun with your Nintendo console. Enter, Play Zone, a new mini-game collection for the Wii.
Do we need yet more mini-game collections for the Wii?
“With our new Play Zone party titles, the Wii gamers who like to spend time with friends and family will have fun with the Wii through innovative and involving mini-games,” said John Parkes, Ubisoft’s EMEA marketing director. (next-gen)
Again, more “innovative mini-games” in our future? Ubisoft knows how to make a quick buck on casual games, no doubt, with their Petz franchise doing a killing for very simplistic games (which my daughter finds extremely fun).

This weekend was rough and, as a result, this gaming podcast has an epic number of bloopers. A death in the family had us running all over the place and heading to family events.

I liked the auction house in Diablo 3 because it allowed for more gear homogenization; if my character got an item that did not help that specific class as much as another item, I could possibly auction that loot and buy a better suited one.
The 6 TFLOPS available on Scorpio make it comparable to an overclocked RX 480, so it might be capable of running Doom without dynamic resolution scaling, and consoles use low-level APIs similar to Vulkan, but we don’t know the CPU specifications.
Thank you for mentioning me!
