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 The unpublished one will be issued at some future date when we all need a break (maybe over the Christmas week.)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.

The new episode was recorded last Wednesday but only posted now due to server issues. In this edition, Jonah, T.J., and Scott all geek out about Civilization VI. They also weigh in fully about the newly revealed Nintendo Switch, and speculate on whether it’s going to be a purchase. (Short answer: depends on how much it costs.)

This week’s news items include:

Bethesda says “no more” to advance game reviews
Nintendo pins financial hopes on selling 2 million Switch consoles at launch
Microsoft announces a VR headset for $299

This week’s Question of the Week: “Are you ready for VR?”

This week has a new recording date, Wednesday, so the crew can have more timely discussions about newly released games and more of the week’s news. Thanks to the Star Trek Convention, the podcast is still delayed a little.

This week’s news includes:

People buy PS4 Slim consoles before it’s announced
Rumor: Nintendo NX could be region-free
Devs can now publish Windows apps straight to Xbox One
Fallout 4 PS4 Mods not broken, but Sony hasn’t pushed it live yet

All this and Listener Feedback. We also have a new Question of the Week: “What is your favorite fan convention?”

The past week has been rife with news about Pokemon GO! and all of the chaos the mobile game has caused around the world with people hunting creatures in museums and police stations. The podcast mostly avoids the craze.

The news this week includes:

Fake Pokemon Go! apps could contain malware and force your phone to click on porn links
Fraudsters force RimWorld dev to stop giving out Steam keys

Why Disney Infinity 4.0 was shut down
Microsoft kills Project Spark for Windows, Xbox One

Stay tuned for Part 2.

April 28, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:07 pm

This week’s a lot of discussion of comic book movies, including the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War”. In fact, it dominates most of the podcast. However, there is some discussion of video games.

This week’s news includes:

Free money suddenly showed up in some people’s Steam accounts
“Obviously there’s going to be another Borderlands,” says Gearbox

Unfortunately, we had to skip a week despite recording a good podcast thanks to technical difficulties – don’t worry, we’ll air it at some point in the near future. It was a good episode. This episode had its own issues, as Jonah was unable to record the podcast at home, so he was outside in the New York City night air podcasting with TJ and Scott.

This week’s news includes:

Microsoft cancels Fable Legends, closes Press Play Studios, considers shuttering Lionhead Studios UK
Report: SpinTires developer sabotaged his own game
10 months later, MAME finishes its transition to open source
Valve announces The Lab, a compilation of free VR “experiments”

Jonah survived the cold snap, and everything is okay – we think. There’s not much to this podcast except for the extensive discussions on completely unrelated topics.

The news this week includes:

The Chinese Room gearing up to announce a new game
“Who wouldn’t want to take on” Baldur’s Gate 3, says former Bioware writer
New rumor has Forza Motorsport 6 and Forza Horizon 3 coming to Windows 10

Well, the fateful day has come on this landmark podcast, as Paul says farewell as a regular podcast host. We can all look back at Jonah’s debut in episode 200, with the knowledge that the next episode will make him the longest running host or co-host on the show – and that’s just scary. A former host leaves a message as well.

This week’s news includes:

Creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is crowdfunding a fighting game
Xbox head discusses why Final Fantasy 14 is not on Xbox One
Pachter: “The console installed base is as big as it’s ever going to get”
