This podcast is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, but there’s plenty of banter between Jonah and Scott, and 30 minutes of the podcast were removed to be aired as an outtakes at some point. Oh, and there’s plenty of cursing and NSFW content in this particular podcast, so be warned.

Mighty No. 9 unexpectedly delayed by Comcept

This week’s episode features Paul guest-hosting, joining Jonah and Scott. The only real drama comes when Paul defends Nintendo’s shady policy of deleting levels without any warning.

This week’s news items include:

Nintendo is deleting people’s Mario Maker stages without telling them why
Vivendi’s takeover of Ubisoft looms

No, you’re not going backwards in time. This is the episode that was supposed to air a few weeks ago but was sidetracked by a faulty power supply. Of course, the episode was recorded on Friday the 13th, back when Fallout 4 was fresh and new.

The old news includes:

Bethesda sells 12M units of Fallout 4 for $750M at launch
October 2015 NPD: Xbox One won the month, despite PS4 price drop
Rapper predicted Smash Bros. future
Night Dive working on complete remake of System Shock, discussing System Shock 3

The Question of the Week, “Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?”, was repeated in episode 406. But you can still answer the question.

This week’s episode was deliberately delayed because there will be a new day we record: Friday, which means the podcasts will be released on Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, the Dr. Who episode preceding this gave us a little space, and now this podcast will be setting the stage for future episodes.

This week’s news includes:

Rumor: Caveman game teased by Ubisoft leaked as Far Cry Primal
Steam Sections coming to major videogame retailers this November
Sony: “Climate is not healthy” for a new PlayStation handheld
LEGO Dimensions outsells Skylanders Superchargers and Disney Infinity 3.0
Fan turns to the crowd for Pokemon PAX party settlement

Only one more episode til the landmark episode that will see Paul ending his tenure as a regular podcast host in this lengthy episode after the week off. The banter is so off the charts, over an hour had to be cut and will be available in a future outtakes episode – as Paul and Scott agree to do a special Dr. Who episode in the near future too. Oh, and Jonah lost his day job.

The news this week includes:

Nintendo names a new leader after sudden death of CEO
Nintendo partners with Niantic Labs for Pokemon on mobile
Hi-Rez Studios: Players make the content everyone is trying to monetise
Frostbite: the PS3 CELL retarded the industry significantly
Windows 10 on Xbox One is called “OneCore”

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
