Episode 494: Power OutageEpisode 494: Power Outage

March 4, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 7:31 pm

This episode’s release was delayed by Spectrum internet problems which can be sorted with a VPN like cubik thanks to rain caused by El Niño, but that didn’t stop Jonah from enjoying the Turtles. The news was slow this week, so there’s a lot of banter about why Gaming Flashback title Grand Theft Auto IV was one of the best reviewed games of all-time, and how the crew thought it sucked. Maybe it was because of Roman constantly asking them if they’d like to go bowling or something.

This week’s news includes:

CD Projekt touts Cyberpunk 2077 as a “blockbuster franchise”
Minecraft Chemistry update goes live
Bandai Namco outlines plans to address Dragon Ball FighterZ online issues

So, two weeks ago, the audio was so corrupted, there was nothing that could be salvaged. A week later, the podcast only had one track working, so it was like Jonah speaking to imaginary people only he could hear. This podcast is finally perfect, with Rock Band being the Gaming Flashback.

This week’s news includes:

System Shock reboot that raised $1.3M on Kickstarter is now on “hiatus”
Dragon Ball FighterZ’s premium DLC characters revealed
Rumor: Diablo III is coming to Nintendo Switch
