This week’s Gaming Flashback has no cake — instead it’s the history of Portal. The guys try to keep the podcast meme-free as they discuss Valve’s first person puzzle platformer.
There’s also non-Portal related news items, too:
- Chris Avellone may be teasing a new Fallout game
- Street Fighter 5 will finally get an arcade mode in 2018
- The SNES Classic has been hacked
- Telltale patch removes assassinated ambassador from Batman: The Enemy Within
Let us know what you think in the Comments section.

I wanted Killer Instinct on the mini SNES.
