This week’s episode is double-sized, because the previous week’s episode was… pretty bad. Who knows? Maybe we’ll air it some week when we’re unable to post a new episode.

This week’s news includes:

Xbox Cloud Gaming for PC beta invites sent out
Rumor: Battlefield 6 not coming to Xbox One or PS4
BioShock 4 job listings appear to confirm an open world and sidequests
Civilization 6’s final free game update adds three new units, two new maps, and more
Nintendo says it will focus on more original game series in the future

All this and listener feedback. Post your own feedback here at Facebook.

Episode 472: Peggling PegglesEpisode 472: Peggling Peggles

Last week’s episode was torpedoed by audio issues (who knows, maybe they’ll come back in a outtakes episode), so this week returns with half old news and half new news. The Gaming Flashback returns with a vengeance with the classic Popcap game Peggle — which came out while Gaming Podcast debuted!

This week’s new/old news includes:

Atari’s ‘PC technology-based’ Ataribox will echo NES Classic, crowdfunding campaign coming
PC release of Classic action-RPG Ys Seven announced
Possible Xbox One X wireless module passes through FCC
New trademark sparks rumours of ‘Nintendo 64 Classic’ console release

Also, there’s a Question of the Week — listen in and let us know what you think.

Episode 466: Kill This Kitten For FunEpisode 466: Kill This Kitten For Fun

This episode continues to have some audio issues thanks to Jonah leaving his expensive headset back in Los Angeles, forcing him to use his iPad once again as a mic. However, this week’s episode is chock full of game goodness.

This week’s episode includes the following news items:

Dragon Quest XI battle system further detailed
Overwatch has earned Activision Blizzard over $1 billion in less than a year
Steam changes cross-country gifting and gift trading
DOTA 2 is getting a co-op campaign with a story

Let us know what you think.

Episode 595: Two Hours of Sound ProblemsEpisode 595: Two Hours of Sound Problems

This weekend’s episode is two hours long, but due to some software recording issues, the audio sounds like it was recorded from the desktop. However, there’s a ton of discussion of news from around the industry, not just the two news items listed below. In addition, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Alan Wake, which was actually one of the news items back in Episode 252: “Alan Wake on PC because Remedy ‘a nagging little kid’ to Microsoft”.
