This week’s episode not only has a Gaming Flashback, but a Gaming History as well. The Flashback looks at the hardware intensive PC game Crysis, while the Gaming History looks at one of the bigger crowdfunding fiascos, Starforge. Jonah also reminds viewers that the “mayo” in the Splatfest for Splatoon 2 probably wasn’t actually mayo.
This week’s news items include:
- Lexington video game company sues after personal information posted online
- New game combines monster taming and Stardew Valley
- Respawn: “We’re doing more Titanfall“
- Destiny 2 will not offer customization of imported characters
