Episode 387: Some FalloutEpisode 387: Some Fallout

June 4, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:55 pm

This podcast was recorded on short notice, so it’s on the short side. It’s also a little dated, since the Fallout 4 news was going to be announced the next day at the recording, and the publishing is a day after it’s official reveal. There’s an actual Gaming Flashback this week, with Destroy All Humans!, which shockingly Paul never played.

The news in this podcast includes:

Indie dev discusses where the money goes
Fallout 4 announcement coming June 3
New Steam refunds policy makes some devs concerned

All this and Listener Feeedback.

Episode 386: Late Yet AgainEpisode 386: Late Yet Again

May 29, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:50 pm

Another late podcast, as Summer is in sight, and E3 looms ahead. Some minor audio issues with the podcast, but still the same podcast-y goodness we can expect from Paul and Jonah.

The news includes:

Analysts: “Greed, fear, and the potential to change the world” will drive VR
Casey Hudson joins Microsoft
Humble Bundle debuts Wii games
World of Warcraft players are pissed their characters can’t fly
Final Fantasy 15 news coming next week

All that and Listener Feedback.

Episode 385: Beginning of the EndEpisode 385: Beginning of the End

May 11, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 7:33 pm

This podcast marks the beginning of the end of Paul’s tenure as a regular co-host, as he will be leaving at the milestone episode 400. He and Jonah both bemoan the loss of last week’s taping, as it had laughter, tears, outrage and a long comic book conversation, but this episode more than makes up for it with items that make Paul squee.

The news includes:

Portal, Doctor Who, The Simpsons and more confirmed for Lego Dimensions
Report: Xbox One 60fps game DVR capture goes live
Nintendo partners with Universal Parks to create themed rides and attractions
Microsoft teases big Rare reveal at E3

All this and some nifty Listener Feedback.

Episode 384: Homestar RuinerEpisode 384: Homestar Ruiner

April 28, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:30 pm

This week’s episode has bad audio, but at least it’s short, due to Jonah’s lingering laryngitis. Paul insists Homestar Runner hasn’t been good in 15 years, while Jonah talks about the NES classic bomb Athena.

This week’s news includes:

Nintendo Virtual Store to start selling N64 and DS games
Tim Schafer recommends Broken Age players start over from the beginning
Silent Hills is officially dead

All this and Listener Feedback.

Episode 383: Get Some Board Games InEpisode 383: Get Some Board Games In

April 5, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:40 am

This episode was recorded on short notice thanks to last week’s late posting, so the Listener Feedback that responded to 382 couldn’t make it here. Paul and Jonah discuss some board games with remarkably similar themes they played in the past few days. Paul also waits for his compensation for The Sims Freeplay.

The news of the week includes:

Microsoft discontinues Kinect for Windows
Microsoft says open source Windows is “definitely possible”
OnLive shuts down streaming games service, sells patents to Sony
Mario Maker gets release date

No Listener Feedback this week, so the Question of the Week remains the same: “What do you think the future is for old games?”

March 31, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:10 pm

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this episode was recorded on Monday, but despite the lateness, it’s full of rich news items, including some very disturbing trends in videogames, as well as a question by a listener that got mental juices flowing. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Professor Pac-Man.

The news items include:

Headteachers in UK threaten to report parents who let their children play 18-rated games
Star Citizen‘s Vanguard “concept” fighter costs a cool $250
PC version of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round launches on Steam without key features
Zelda delay could ruin Nintendo’s 2015

Episode 381: Nudity Next TimeEpisode 381: Nudity Next Time

March 22, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 10:22 pm

This week’s episode is full of pop culture references, again, as Inspector Gadget, Matthew Broderick, My Little Pony and The Garry Shandling Show all get some airtime. In addition, Paul discusses his frustration with The Sims Freeplay, and Jonah threatens that in the next episode, he’ll be naked and Paul will wear a silly hat.

The news includes:

Free Windows 10 for pirates
Kojima breaks silence over departure rumours
Atari to indie dev: Stop ripping off your own work on Tempest 2000

March 15, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:26 pm

After a week off from Jonah being at PAX East 2015 and Paul being at GDC, the podcast is back, as this week’s Gaming Flashback is the landmark Guitar Hero. In addition, the podcast learns too late that Cities: Skylines runs on Windows XP. Paul also deals with goats, and the podcast is giving away a free code for Catlateral Damage.

Episode 379: DizzneyEpisode 379: Dizzney

March 2, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 10:44 pm

This week’s episode was going to be short thanks to a lack of news, but Paul and Jonah get into a long discussion about the Disney Afternoon from the 90’s. which makes up for the lack of a Gaming Flashback or History.

This week’s news includes:

Lenovo preinstalled Superfish adware on its laptop
The FCC approves strong net neutrality rules
Capcom takes co-op out Of Resident Evil, modders put it back in

February 20, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:21 am

This week has a very special guest, former IGN editor and current Dog and Thimble podcast host Hilary Goldstein, as he teams up with Paul to razz Jonah incessantly, as well as add a certain amount of NSFW spice to this week’s proceedings.
