Episode 489: Late to the Party

This week’s episode is a little late due to a power outage. However, despite the lack of really interesting news, the crew still finds plenty to chat about.

This week’s news includes:

  • Switch outsells entire lifetime of Wii U in Japan
  • The Tomb Kings bring crazy new units and crafting to Total War: Warhammer 2
  • State of Decay 2 is still on for a spring release
  • Rebellion buys studio Radiant Worlds

The Question of the Week is, “What popular game did you play long after its initial release?”

  1. Hi guys.
    Thanks for the episode. It was intersting and funny as always πŸ™‚ To your question of the week: I Played Portal the first time last year. Of course i completed it very fast, but this was a PC game i played about 10 years after its release πŸ™‚
    For Console games, it must be some of the first 6 Mega Man Games … i donΒ΄t remember which ones i played as a kid, but of course not all of them. So i decided to play through the first 6 Mega Man games last year πŸ™‚
    I like to play all the old games, i missed in my youth, but as you know: now (as an adult) you got the money to buy games, but you dont have the time anymore to play all of them πŸ™‚
    Jonah: Archon is a really great game! I loved it as a kid, even i did not understood it at all πŸ™‚ (I am born in 1980, so i was 4 years old, when Archon was released, and i got my first C-64 when i was 8).
    So thanks again guys and keep gaming πŸ™‚
