December 1, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:53 pm

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.

EA data leak on Pastebin exposes emails and passwords
Adobe confirms major Flash vulnerability

October 10, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:56 pm

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”

We need listener feedback for Paul’s goodbye next episode, so write in and let us know what you remember most about Paul!

Two more episodes, and Paul is no longer a regular podcast host. On a side note, there will be no podcast next week due to scheduling conflicts.

July 23, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:01 pm

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

Episode 390: Counting DownEpisode 390: Counting Down

July 3, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 5:00 pm

As Paul’s departure as a regular host is in 10 episodes, Jonah rants about the Batmobile in Batman: Arkham Knight and talks about the painlessness of Fallout Shelter‘s micro-transactions. The other part of the podcast is them talking Heroes of Might & Magic II, and discussing what makes a good expansion.

The news items include:

Lack of female character choice in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes explained
Australian government bans hundreds of mobile and Web-based games
Nintendo has no problems changing franchises, despite fan outcry
Apple pulls games with Confederate flag imagery

All this plus Listener Feedback and Paul’s indignation.

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.

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
