This week’s episode has no Gaming Flashback, but there is a lot of talk about how awesome the Good Old Games digital store is.
The week’s news items include:
- GOG Galaxy 2.0 now includes your gaming subscriptions
- Fallout 76 to add pets
- Minecraft city was created by a team of professional builders
- Xbox Series X design blends game console, speaker and projector into one
Let us know what you think.
Episode 383: Get Some Board Games InEpisode 383: Get Some Board Games In
This episode was recorded on short notice thanks to last week’s late posting, so the Listener Feedback that responded to 382 couldn’t make it here. Paul and Jonah discuss some board games with remarkably similar themes they played in the past few days. Paul also waits for his compensation for The Sims Freeplay.
The news of the week includes:
- Microsoft discontinues Kinect for Windows
- Microsoft says open source Windows is “definitely possible”
- OnLive shuts down streaming games service, sells patents to Sony
- Mario Maker gets release date
No Listener Feedback this week, so the Question of the Week remains the same: “What do you think the future is for old games?”
Episode 405: The 13th Strikes AgainEpisode 405: The 13th Strikes Again
No, you’re not going backwards in time. This is the episode that was supposed to air a few weeks ago but was sidetracked by a faulty power supply. Of course, the episode was recorded on Friday the 13th, back when Fallout 4 was fresh and new.
The old news includes:
- Bethesda sells 12M units of Fallout 4 for $750M at launch
- October 2015 NPD: Xbox One won the month, despite PS4 price drop
- Rapper predicted Smash Bros. future
- Night Dive working on complete remake of System Shock, discussing System Shock 3
The Question of the Week, “Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?”, was repeated in episode 406. But you can still answer the question.
