This week the guys relax after the hecticness of E3, and get on to some of the major post-convention news. As Paul S. Nowak struggles with connection issues, Gaming Flashback returns with the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
This week’s news:
- Microsoft unveils new tablet
- Rumor: Leaked doc claims 720 launches in 2013, 3D Kinect in 2014, OnLive acquisition
- May 2012 US sales down 28% over last year despite Diablo III
- Australian gamers get adults-only R18+ classification
All this and Reader Feedback. This week has no Question of the Week – just ask the crew some questions.
Episode 257: The Golden BoysEpisode 257: The Golden Boys
This week’s episode has a lot of … personality. That is, a lot of mockery, cursing, sniping, and general chaos – making it one of the best podcasts ever. Jordan Lund wasn’t available due to commitments at work, so Dan Quick once again filled in, and as expected, got along with Paul S. Nowak famously, as they tagteamed Jonah Falcon. In the meantime, the Gaming Flashback this week was Civilization II.
This week’s news also made Paul explode. Twice:
- Congressmen want warning labels on all games
- Exec: Console version of Diablo III will be “full Blizzard experience”
- Grand Theft Auto V details allegedly leaked
- EVE Online FanFest Panel accused of “tasteless” behavior
- Rumor: Microsoft to release ‘Xbox Lite’ before next-gen
The winners of The Darkness II contest were also announced. All this in an episode bursting full of good, old-fashioned bitchiness.
Episode 392: And Introducing…Episode 392: And Introducing…
Yes, it seems strange that we skipped Episode 391, but it was recorded, but some issues prevented it from being posted. Instead, it’ll come out sometime later this year. For now, Episode 392 features the debut of Scott Dirk, aka Alphashard, as a co-host. There are some audio issues, so be warned.
The news includes:
- Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata passes away at 55
- Kojima’s name removed from Metal Gear Solid V cover
- Fallout 4 is about “freedom“, not being the “best looking game,” says Bethesda
- Shenmue 3 breaks Kickstarter video game record
- Over 50% of parents worry about their children playing video games online
