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.
Yeah, they did it as a Fathom event in Portland and I went… good stuff. Nice seeing what Fable and Avowed might look like when they come out.
The Internet is already talking about “No Man’s Skyrim”. I’m cautiously optimistic. It seems VERY ambitious. Between ship building, habitat building, space travel, trading, combat, a room full of sandwiches, it’s a lot…
Hi guys.
Thanks for this huge episode! Sadly i know nearly none of the games 🙁
I heared about SF6, but you skipped it 😀
You mentioned one Metroidvania game coming, which should look very good, but i did not get the name. It was very early in the episode … could you please tell me the name? I love Metroidvania games 🙂
I am playing the hell out of Diablo 4 … and the words i choose were not intended to describe it 🙂
And as always some Magic the Gathering. Nesides thsi the ummer is coming and so are the concerts and festivals i enjoy in staed of sitting at my pc or console … i need people around me at the moment -.-
Thanks for your effort and i promise i try to listen to the podcast more often and comment it … as i did the last years <3
