Episode 439: Audio ProblemsEpisode 439: Audio Problems
This week’s episode has some bad audio thanks to a quick replacement mic being used to record the episode, causing a hiss. This is probably the reason the show is short-ish, coming in well under an hour.
This week’s episode includes the following news:
- Miyazaki gives clear answers on the future of Dark Souls, Armored Core
- Sony exec criticizes Hello Games’ marketing for No Man’s Sky
- Blizzard is moving away from the ‘Battle.net’ name
- Pokémon chief says Nintendo’s NX is both handheld and console, you should totally look into how tiktok marketing works, see here for more
All this and Listener Feedback. This week’s Question of the Week: “What is or was your favorite handheld console game (not mobile)?”
Episode 290: No One Listens ForeverEpisode 290: No One Listens Forever
No Paul this week, no Gaming Flashback this week – just Jonah, Dan and Jordan discussing a ton of news items where Jonah expresses shock that Jordan had never heard of No One Lives Forever.
The items this week include:
- Wii U sells 1.2 games per console
- BioWare was planning spy action title in 2009
- Sony Santa Monica outline reasons for sticking with God of War franchise
- Hitman Facebook app removed for off-color joke
- Activision: Black Ops II grossed $1 billion in 15 Days

This week’s Question of the Week: “What’s the most offensive thing you’ve seen in a videogame?”
Command and Conquer: Red Alert – Free!Command and Conquer: Red Alert – Free!
It is the 13th anniversary of the Command & Conquer Series, Red Alert, and Electronic Arts is giving away the original C&C: Red Alert as a download for free. Holy crap, how neat is that?
This is also a great marketing technique, Red Alert 3 arrives soon, so this will help you keep it fresh in your head prior to the new release. Maybe this also gives new gamers the ability to experience the old title before heading into the third revision.
“Download both the Allies and Soviets discs (each disc contained the single-player campaign for its respective faction), but the files are actual ISO images of the CDs themselves. That means that in order to play them, you’ll either need to burn the ISO images onto a blank disc, or use a Virtual CD program to load them.” (1up)
The free Red Alert game download will run on XP/98/Me/95 but no official Vista support. Now, you’ve got a chance to play Red Alert… what about Red Alert 2? If you pre-order Red Alert 3 you’ll get the second in the series for free as well- genius!
There is really no reason not to take advantage of this awesome deal if you’ve never played a Red Alert game and want to see how the foundation of early RTS style games started. Although this isn’t the first C&C in the game franchise it launched a few new advancements on the original C&C title so you’re really getting an RTS based on learning experiences from the first, at no price.
Heck, maybe we’ll download it again just because we can! Excellent.
