This is a Gaming Podcast lite episode, it’s got less calories because we’re right in the middle of travel plans heading to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail (conference). This is also the reason the show is going out late this week as I’m posting it from a hotel room with crappy wifi, but we did it… we got it done. I’m keeping the show notes simple this week because we’re rushed for time.

This weeks gaming podcast fills the hour of show with a lot of side tangents and off-topic discussions, thanks to some of the listener feedback. You’ll learn how Zynga and Facebook resemble the Mega Powers relationship with Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage. Some of the news for the week includes:
- Zynga partners with 7-11
- Nintendo 3DS close to HD console abilities?
- Farmville heading to iPhone
- Customize guitar instruments in the new Guitar Hero
This week’s question of the week: What will get you into the Guitar Hero series? RPG-style play? Huge song collection? Or, perhaps multiple mics with keyboard play get you back into the genre?
Episode 508: MarriageEpisode 508: Marriage
TJ announces his nuptials the previous week, finally marrying his live-in girlfriend of 10 years. All that, and many parables that had to be cut from the podcast lest it last 90 minutes.
That said, there’s plenty of news this week:
- The Battlefield 5 beta will take place in early September
- Rainbow Six Siege now insta-banning players using hate speech
- Pokemon GO Fest attendance announced
- Star Citizen refund refusals
Let us know if you spent $50,000 on a virtual spaceship.
@Sony’s 3d at 720 vertical resolution:
Basically admitting that 3d is more that they can handle …
He’s right about not being able to spot the difference. Usually I play a game to enjoy the action and the story. I don’t pay too much attention to the 3D details.
You can actually play games on PC in 3D, today, using anaglyph glasses and third party video card drivers :O 🙂
@EA and Ubisoft
They need cash … Usually you sell when either you need cash or the asset you’re selling tends to become worthless.
With Assassin’s Creed 2 done, I don’t think Ubisoft is doing bad. So yeah, I think EA just needs money.
@listener comments (again :P)
120 GHz! Surely you mean 120 Hz. Not GHz.
The Wall St. Journal apparently falsified its report:
