Episode 395: This Episode SucksEpisode 395: This Episode Sucks
No, really, this episode is one of the worst ever released – boring news, stilted dialog, bad jokes. At least the first news item allowed the crew to rip Pixels. So bad Jonah didn’t bother editing it.
The news items include:
- Anti-piracy group hits indie creators for using the word “pixels“
- Rare Replay studio’s first UK chart-topper since Banjo-Kazooie on N64 in 1998
- More Diablo is coming
- Games for Windows “wasn’t the right approach” says Microsoft
No Listener Feedback or Question of the Week either. That’s how bad this episode was.
Episode 345: Old in the ValleyEpisode 345: Old in the Valley
This week’s Jonah discusses an article about ageism in Silicon Valley, while Paul complains about an achievement ruining a casual game he’d spent $200 on. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Dance Dance Revolution.
The news includes:
- Facebook acquiring Oculus for $2 billion
- Valve’s Portal coming as Tegra 4 Android App to Nvidia Shield
- Xbox One may allow loaning of digital games
- Nintendo, Sony won’t attend PAX East
All this and a little Listener Feedback, with the Question of the Week being “Do you subscribe to videogame magazines now?”
Episode 346: Back PainsEpisode 346: Back Pains
Paul wasn’t able to make it for this podcast thanks to a hospital trip due to back pains, but Jordan and Jonah get into it a little themselves. They also avoid the predictable April Fool’s gags since even though the episode was recorded April 1, it wasn’t going to air until 2 days later. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Ubisoft’s first person shooter Far Cry.
The news this week includes:
- EA deletes nasty Wii U April Fools’ tweets
- Indies praise Xbox One self-publishing – but Microsoft must drop its launch parity policy
- Uncharted 4 game director leaves Naughty Dog
Also included is Listener Feedback and the Question of the Week, “What was your favorite videogame-related April Fool’s joke?”
