This week is a hybrid of a “greatest hits” episode and a short news brief, we’ve got a couple stories, community comments and Don added a blooper “greatest hits” reel to the end of the episode, so enjoy! The news includes:
This week, we’re still busting a question of the week as well and it’s a thinker… if you had one novel to implement into a game (which has never been done), what novel would it be?
This is the second attempt at Episode 631, as the previous episode had bad audio, and was boring to boot. This week’s episode features a lot of questionable content, as well as a Dark Souls Gaming Flashback.
The guys discuss the week’s goings-on, including Diablo speedrun sleuths proving a 15-year world record was fake after reverse-engineering the game and failing to replicate the run in 2.2 billion possible randomized dungeons, Call of Duty’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover costing $90, Valve releasing the Team Fortress 2 source code, and a mystery Tony Hawk remaster mentioned by pro skater involved in the game.
For the first time in years, we have a Gaming History: The Civilization II Eternal War.
