Last week’s episode was delayed by Jonah producing a new show (The Jonah Falcon Show), then by the tragedy on Sunday, August 26. Now, the podcast recorded last week and the one recorded this week have been merged into one big 2+ hour show.

Last week’s news items included:

Devil May Cry 5 arrives in March
Cyberpunk 2077 quests similar to The Witcher 3 ‘in terms of playtime and complexity’
Rumor: Nintendo planning big Switch upgrade
Soulcalibur 6 Story Mode and DLC character announced

This past week’s news was simple:

EA cancels remaining Madden Classic qualifiers

To be fair, the crew ended up talking about other stuff going on during the week, including the the E3 demo for Cyberpunk 2077 that was finally released to the general public. Gaming still brings smiles to people’s faces.

Back in 2007, Derrick and Jennifer Schommer, along with Don Dunn started the Gaming Podcast, with their unique sense of humor and take on the biz of video games (as well as starting a popular World of Warcraft guild.) The trio would move on, with Derrick starting his Everyday Drinkers podcast and Common Man Cocktails site. Jonah Falcon took over, and merged it with the Videogame Roundtable. In that time, we’ve had hosts including Jordan Lund, Paul S. Nowak, Dan Quick, Scott Dirk and most lately, the inestimable T.J. Denzer. We’ve also had guest hosts including Hilary Goldstein and the late Andrew Yoon.

This episode celebrates the past 10 years, including an intro by Dan Quick and Paul S. Nowak joining this week’s episode, to discuss this news:

‘Father of Pac-Man‘ Masaya Nakamura dies at 91
Nintendo is gearing up for more mobile games, plans 2-3 per year
$500 million awarded to ZeniMax in lawsuit over the Oculus Rift
Asheron’s Call comes to a quiet end after 17 years
