April 26, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 10:10 am

This week’s episode is raw and unedited, since Jonah’s laptop got fried. However, despite the audio issues and being posted via cell phone, the gang got off a pretty good show.

This week’s news includes:

Overwatch pro ends career with stream of racial slurs
Don’t expect Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy 7 remake until at least 2018
DOTA 2 will soon require competitors to cough up their phone number
Report: PlayStation VR bundle will come with required camera and one Move controller

The Question of the Week: “What kind of VR game would you want to play?”

Since the podcast recording last Wednesday had audio issues and the news was, frankly, boring, the crew decided to record a new 464th episode on Easter Sunday, after some more interesting stuff was announced near the end of the week. That, and Scott expresses his enthusiasm for Thimbleweed Park, the spiritual successor to Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, using a SCUMM-like interface.

This week’s news items include:

Diving into Project Scorpio’s backwards compatibility, 4K, VR, and 1080p support
Nintendo discontinues the NES Classic Edition
It looks like Star Wars: Battlefront II will ditch the Season Pass

All that and some Listener Feedback.

This week’s episode has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, since that was a week ago. There’s nothing surprising about the crew this time around, though Jonah does finally give his final (?) thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Zelda keeps getting heavy praise. The Persona 5 news item alone spurred a ton of debate.

This week’s episode includes the following news:

Twitch and YouTube streamers slam Persona 5‘s video policy
Total War: Warhammer 2 announced with a new trailer
Valve only wants to sell you good games
Nintendo might have accidentally revealed that Pokemon is coming to the Switch

Let us know what you think of the heated discussions in the episode.
