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

Let us know what you think.

The audio quality is a little bad on this podcast, probably because Scott goes on and on about his fractured butt-hole. However, the episode was recorded on January 1, so there isn’t much news. The gang also challenges Paul to pop in and do an episode sometime.

What news that was discussed includes:

Project Phoenix accused of being a scam
Platinum Games working on two self-published games
Mutant Football League kicks off the New Year with a console launch

All this and Listener Feedback. The Question of the Week remains, “What game are you looking forward to in 2018?”

This episode sees the debut of a new co-host, videogame writer T.J. Denzer, who joins Jonah Falcon and Scott Dirk for this long episode, discussing Star Wars, spoilers, and other news that didn’t make the cut. This week also has the first Gaming Flashback in over a year, taking a look at The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

This week’s news includes:

Mac and Linux versions of Batman: Arkham Knight canceled
22 year old eSports FIFA gamer signed by professional football club
Nintendo cancels sleep tracking device
Ant Simulator canceled after business partners spent money on booze and strippers

The episode is a day late, sorry about that, folks. In this episode, we wish Paul was with us to discuss what he thought of the release of Jem and the Holograms in theaters. The banter is strong, but not overstuffed like last week.

Lots of news this week, however:

Konami insists Hideo Kojima still works at company
343 Industries not ruling out PC port of Halo 5
Rebellion rescues Kickstarter backers from GRIN’s bankruptcy
Classic car combat RPG Autoduel may be making a comeback with inXile
Pete Hines: Entire game not on Fallout 4 PC disc
Vivendi seeking more shares of Ubisoft, board seats

The Question on the Week: Do you prefer first person or isometric RPGs?

Yes, it seems strange that we skipped Episode 391, but it was recorded, but some issues prevented it from being posted. Instead, it’ll come out sometime later this year. For now, Episode 392 features the debut of Scott Dirk, aka Alphashard, as a co-host. There are some audio issues, so be warned.

The news includes:

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata passes away at 55
Kojima’s name removed from Metal Gear Solid V cover
Fallout 4 is about “freedom“, not being the “best looking game,” says Bethesda
Shenmue 3 breaks Kickstarter video game record
Over 50% of parents worry about their children playing video games online
