Episode 506: E3 Swag and Sony SagEpisode 506: E3 Swag and Sony Sag

June 27, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 2:54 am

This episode follows the three hour long E3 episode, but there was so much E3 to talk about, a lot of the show spilled over into this show, including the crew talking about the swag Jonah sent to them, and Sony’s “winning” of E3 in terms of media attention. There was going to be a Gaming History, but the episode ran long and they weren’t going to have a two hour podcast after a three hour one.

The news of the week includes:

Microsoft and Nintendo troll Sony over crossplay
Bethesda lawsuit says Westworld game stole Fallout Shelter code
Microsoft and Razer are working on Xbox keyboard and mouse support
Nintendo Switch could get its own new Monster Hunter games

There was some Listener Feedback to last week’s episode, too.

Episode 505: 3 Hours Of E3Episode 505: 3 Hours Of E3

June 16, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:36 pm

This week’s episode is three hours long — Jonah’s mic was moving in the first minute, but after that, it’s ok. There’s no news, just discussion of each of the press briefings that preceded E3, as well as some of the games that Jonah got hands-on time with. TJ is sad that he didn’t get to attend this year, while Scott is getting E3 swag.

Next week, back to news items!
