This week’s episode features a report by Jonah Falcon from Toy Fair NY, raving about the co-op board gane version of Dark Souls. T.J. continues to rave about Nioh and Scott texted while the podcast was going on, but you’ll have to wait for an outtakes episode to hear that story.

This week’s news includes:

Square Enix may have accidentally announced NieR: Automata‘s PC release date
Ed Boon would entertain the possibility of Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat crossover
Dragon Quest Heroes I and II too big for Switch drive

Let us know what you think.

Wow, I wish I knew about the Kickstarter for Dark Souls! This podcast was the first I heard of it, so I checked it out and I’m amazed. It’s well worth the $120, and I know what I’ll be spending my birthday credit card on!

This week, Jonah has the flu, but still manages to host despite hacking and coughing (which was edited out of the podcast), and having a nasally voice as well. Jordan was not so lucky, and couldn’t make it at all. Despite all this, the crew manages to give Dan a sendoff in his last regular podcast.

The news was also pretty major this week, including:

THQ finally dissolved, assets auctioned off
Dead Space 3 micro-transactions for players wanting “instant gratification”
Disney Infinity to feature on-disc DLC, susceptible to movie spoilers
League of Legends Team Solo Medbi players receive lifetime bans for anti-Semitism and abuse
Sony fined 250K GBP for April 2011 hacker intrusion

We also have Reader Feedback and a new Question of the Week: “What kind of microtransactions are acceptable?”

This episode’s release was delayed by Spectrum internet problems which can be sorted with a VPN like cubik thanks to rain caused by El Niño, but that didn’t stop Jonah from enjoying the Turtles. The news was slow this week, so there’s a lot of banter about why Gaming Flashback title Grand Theft Auto IV was one of the best reviewed games of all-time, and how the crew thought it sucked. Maybe it was because of Roman constantly asking them if they’d like to go bowling or something.

This week’s news includes:

CD Projekt touts Cyberpunk 2077 as a “blockbuster franchise”
Minecraft Chemistry update goes live
Bandai Namco outlines plans to address Dragon Ball FighterZ online issues

Let us know what you thought of Grand Theft Auto IV.

Jonah suffers from spring flu this episode, which you can probably here in his voice. There’s a long discussion about isometric roleplaying games, and for the first time in a while, there’s no Gaming Flashback.
