  1. Hi guys.

    Thanks for the episode, i had the time to listen to it while i was driving to a concert ๐Ÿ™‚

    I hope all the Nintendo games, that are coming are going to be as fun as the look like. The remake is worth a try i think .. we will see ๐Ÿ™‚

    Star Citizen … puhh .. everyone is so hyped about it .. for me iots completly uninteresting .. i dont like the setup. Maybe if i will see my friends play it .. dont know.

    And the Metroidvania game i meant was not Prince of Persia .. i will listen to the epdisoe (or the beginning) again and try to find out what name do you say.

    So keep on with the good work guys, stay healthy and have fun playing games ๐Ÿ™‚

    Greetings,
    Ralf

Episode 321: Always Chaotic GoodEpisode 321: Always Chaotic Good

This week, Jonah Falcon and Jordan Lund discuss a little pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons, while the Gaming Flashback this week is the Microsoft Xbox, ending the coverage of the sixth generation consoles in the past few podcasts.

This week’s news includes:

  • All PS Vitas $199 at Target August 18th to the 24th
  • Communist border crossing immigration official sim Papers, Please! now available
  • New Jersey court approves used game lawsuit against GameStop
  • Wasteland 2 dynamic NPC interaction detailed

This week’s Question of the Week is a simple one: “Which do you do most of your gaming on, console or PC?”

Circuit City Denied Sony Shipment, In TransitCircuit City Denied Sony Shipment, In Transit

Circuit City seems to have a problem paying their bills or so it seems, as Sony stopped their shipments mid-transit and returned them before hitting the distributors command center. In this unfavorable market climate, with the holidays around the corner, it seems bad for Circuit City to lose the trust of Sony.

Sony is afraid, “Circuit City couldn’t pay for the shipments” so the merchandise was turned around and returned home. Considering Sony, more than likely, wouldn’t have shipped the products to start with unless Circuit City was in good standing suggests things might have been “learned” after the shipment left the docks.

Circuit City’s been in some bad situations before, having a rough time dealing with competition in a very low margin, high volume, world of electronic retail. I’ve witnessed CompUSA disappear after the local Best Buy moved in and now Best Buy sits about 80 yards from Circuit City.

This is unfortunate because Best Buy can use some competition before they take over the bulk of this industry leaving only Wal*Mart and a few smaller stores to keep them in check. Considering I just purchased a 2-year warranty on my Rock Band 2 drum kit at Circuit City I’m fearing I’ll have to break the hardware sooner than later!
