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

The new episode was recorded last Wednesday but only posted now due to server issues. In this edition, Jonah, T.J., and Scott all geek out about Civilization VI. They also weigh in fully about the newly revealed Nintendo Switch, and speculate on whether it’s going to be a purchase. (Short answer: depends on how much it costs.)

This week’s news items include:

Bethesda says “no more” to advance game reviews
Nintendo pins financial hopes on selling 2 million Switch consoles at launch
Microsoft announces a VR headset for $299

This week’s Question of the Week: “Are you ready for VR?”

This week is a celebration of the 250th episode of the Videogame Roundtable, and Dan Quick is back for the special edition, joining fellow PolyCaster Scott Dirk. However, TJ Denzer was at the bowling alley, so he wasn’t available. There’s a lot of Cards Against Humanity and Town of Salem talk, as well as a lot of long-missed byplay between Dan and Jonah Falcon. Unfortunately, Paul Nowak couldn’t make it.

The news this week includes:

Bethesda working on a “bleeding-edge” RPG
Diablo II gets first official patch since 2011
Forza Motorsport 6: Apex won’t crossplay with Xbox One version
Nintendo explains why only the New 3DS plays SNES games
