The previous two podcasts got corrupted on upload, and now I have to reedit them completely. Be patient.

This week’s there’s a bunch of minor news items, covering things like Sony’s lawsuit, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 and the Ukraine invasion, Minecraft frogs, various remasters, and the gang talk briefly about the newly released Tunic.

The main news items include:

The Gold Box D&D games are coming to Steam
Elden Ring described as start of a “new franchise“

Let us know what you think.

The news includes:

Episode 352: Get Ready for E3 AgainEpisode 352: Get Ready for E3 Again

It’s the last podcast before E3 2014 starts on Monday. Jonah is still ravaged by the flu, while Paul’s ghost haunts the podcast.

The news this week includes:

Watch Dogs sells 4 million in first week
Xbox One getting 34 new apps
Sony discontinues the PSP in Japan
Take-Two CEO skeptical of Oculus’ broad appeal

All this and Listener Feedback as well as a new Question of the Week: “How much info do you try to glean from E3 reports?”

For whatever reason, the file is not working. To listen to the podcast, use this player:
