Episode 454: Rather Die Than SwitchEpisode 454: Rather Die Than Switch

January 30, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:28 pm

Gaming Podcast is back after the one week break, and finally truly weighs in on the announcement of the Switch – and aren’t impressed. What does impress the crew is the latest addition to the survival horror genre, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which takes the radical approach of being a survival horror game. They also ponder about how great a Zelda/Minecraft game would be.

The next episode will be Gaming Podcast’s 10th anniversary, so longtime listeners are encouraged to write in.

Unfortunately, there’s no Donald Trump in this podcast – you’ll have to wait for an outtakes episode to listen to THAT discussion. However, there’s plenty of news culled from the past two weeks to enjoy.

The news includes:

Rumor: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Switch exclusive for first 12 months
‘Game Mode’ for Windows 10 will power Xbox One and Project Scorpio games too

The year has ended, as the last podcast of 2016 was recorded last week, and released today. There’s much discussion that was cut out and saved for a future outtakes episode. Regardless, there’s plenty of show to go around, and the sound quality is also far better than ever thanks to Jonah getting a professional headset and mic.

This week’s news includes:

Nintendo registers trademark that could point to a SNES Classic Edition
Windows 10 may be getting a new “Game Mode” option
The next game by That Dragon, Cancer‘s dev is not what you’d expect

This week’s Question of the Week is “What game in 2017 might you buy that you normally wouldn’t?”

In an hour-long epilogue to last week’s landmark episode, Paul Nowak shows up for a guest appearance, and is very late. He discusses the previous week’s podcast notes – and talks about his new job and Dungeon Keeper.

This is the last episode of 2016. See you in the new, hopefully less awful 2017.

It’s the landmark 450th episode of Gaming Podcast — and the end of a very disappointing year in videogames (among other things) for 2016. These aren’t your usual awards though – Jonah gives the “Best PS2 Game” award to The Last Guardian, for instance. It’s an extra long podcast at almost 2 hours, so enjoy all of the banter.

There’s also news, of course, which includes:

Torment: Tides of Numenera and Yooka-Laylee get release dates
New Age of Empires 2 expansion out next week
Final Fantasy‘s 30th anniversary plans to be revealed soon

Episode 449: More Technical DifficultiesEpisode 449: More Technical Difficulties

December 9, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:43 pm

For the second week in a row, the podcast has had some technical issues. This time the problem was less, but there are still present. Part of the reason is that the mic is subpar, the other is that the PC it’s being recorded on has a damaged fan. That said, this week’s episode (and the unreleased episode) were really good. The unpublished one will be issued at some future date when we all need a break (maybe over the Christmas week.)

This week’s episode includes:

Assassin’s Creed 3 goes free, murders Ubisoft servers in the process
After Blizzard shutdown, legacy World of Warcraft server returns this month
Halo 5: Forge custom game browser is launching on PC this week
Report: Nintendo Switch will get GameCube Games

Let us know what your favorite 2016 game has been.

TJ raves about Owl Boy, Jonah talks about N7 Day and the new Mass Effect: Andromeda revelations, and everyone on the podcast discusses how games have really been a disappointment this year and not much is coming. Oh, and a $99 3DS coming for Black Friday.
