Yeah, we recorded this on April 2 and are just releasing this on April 12 — because during this time Jonah went to PAX East, then visited his mother in NYC, and things have calmed down about now. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the overly cute LittleBigPlanet… and to think it was a major topic of conversation in the early days of the podcast. How time has passed.

This week’s news items include:

You can play de_dust2 in Far Cry Arcade
No Man’s Sky coming to Xbox One later this year

You’d think that wouldn’t be enough news for 90 minutes, but that’s ok. We go off on tangents all the time.

This week’s podcast finally reveals the winner of the E3 Swag Bag. The episode is packed full of show, including a Gaming Flashback about Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and the Gaming History celebrating Donkey Kong‘s 33rd birthday.

The news includes:

Another EA exec explains why mobile Dungeon Keeper suffered
PS4 fails to inspire Japanese market
Former Epic director Bleszinski unretires to reveal Project Bluestreak
Divinity: Original Sin developer turned off global chat to silence trolls
Bartle: “Free-to-play has a half-life“

All this plus the Question of the Week: “Have online players caused you to quit playing that session?”

So, two weeks ago, the audio was so corrupted, there was nothing that could be salvaged. A week later, the podcast only had one track working, so it was like Jonah speaking to imaginary people only he could hear. This podcast is finally perfect, with Rock Band being the Gaming Flashback.

This week’s news includes:

System Shock reboot that raised $1.3M on Kickstarter is now on “hiatus”
Dragon Ball FighterZ’s premium DLC characters revealed
Rumor: Diablo III is coming to Nintendo Switch

Let us know what you think.
