Episode 474: That Splat Ain’t MayoEpisode 474: That Splat Ain’t Mayo

August 10, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 10:11 pm

This week’s episode not only has a Gaming Flashback, but a Gaming History as well. The Flashback looks at the hardware intensive PC game Crysis, while the Gaming History looks at one of the bigger crowdfunding fiascos, Starforge. Jonah also reminds viewers that the “mayo” in the Splatfest for Splatoon 2 probably wasn’t actually mayo.

This week’s news items include:

Lexington video game company sues after personal information posted online
New game combines monster taming and Stardew Valley
Respawn: “We’re doing more Titanfall“
Destiny 2 will not offer customization of imported characters

Question of the Week: “What two games would you like to see combined?”

This week’s episode features Jonah being seriously critical of the Zelda series and getting the aghast reactions from his co-hosts (and probably the internet at large). The crew also discusses games on laptops and dreaming about the games they’d played. There’s another Gaming Flashback this week, 2007’s Game of the Year, Yaris.

This week’s news includes:

Night Trap 25th Anniversary Edition to haunt PS4 and PC players in August
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy spotted with Xbox One controls
Dragon Quest XI coming West next year
Assassin’s Creed Origins director says game won’t be on Nintendo Switch

The Question of the Week: “What game do you play most on your laptop?”

Last week’s episode was torpedoed by audio issues (who knows, maybe they’ll come back in a outtakes episode), so this week returns with half old news and half new news. The Gaming Flashback returns with a vengeance with the classic Popcap game Peggle — which came out while Gaming Podcast debuted!

This week’s new/old news includes:

Atari’s ‘PC technology-based’ Ataribox will echo NES Classic, crowdfunding campaign coming
PC release of Classic action-RPG Ys Seven announced
Possible Xbox One X wireless module passes through FCC
New trademark sparks rumours of ‘Nintendo 64 Classic’ console release

Also, there’s a Question of the Week — listen in and let us know what you think.

Episode 471: Nintendo’s LawyersEpisode 471: Nintendo’s Lawyers

July 13, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 10:15 pm

Nintendo is the main focus of this week’s episode, but we can’t discuss the company too much or they’ll sic their lawyers on the podcast. Other than that, there’s plenty of safe things to discuss.

This week’s episode includes:

Evil Genius 2 in development at Rebellion
Nobody can find the source code for Icewind Dale II
Breath of the Wild players will learn more about Zelda in The Champions’ Ballad DLC
Where are all the Nintendo Switch game ports?

Also, learn about who won the contest, which was decided by the roll of a die.

It’s Contest Time, as Gaming Podcast is giving away a swag bag that includes The Sims 4 and some videogame merch from E3. Most of the 87 minute podcast deals with more E3 talk, and 5 minutes spent on news items.

This week’s news includes:

Everything known about the Ataribox so far
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered standalone release confirmed
Gigantic launching in July, escapes Windows 10

Let us know what you thought of E3 this week in the comments.

(Must be a continental US resident to win the contest.)

Look, we’re back, and as promised, the new podcast is now up and recorded on the final day of E3 in Devolver Digital’s off-site space. Jonah and T.J. hang out near the Fable Fortune booth as they discuss the games they scoped out on the show floor. If T.J. seems a lot more chill than usual, keep in mind he’s enjoyed a few beers by then.

Next week will see Scott joining in with his impressions of the conference from afar.

No really, we’re on hiatus — the next podcast will be recorded at E3, and published on June 18. See you in two weeks!

The landmark episode was recorded two weeks ago, but the audio was absolutely terrible, with over a half-an-hour having to be excised. It’s a pity, because it featured both Videogame Roundtable originals Paul Nowak and Jordan Lund guest-hosting for a massive (for this podcast) five-man crew.

To make up for it, Jonah and T.J. recorded a half-hour discussion of upcoming games that they might check out at E3.

There won’t be a podcast for another 3 weeks, until E3 is over, so for now. Enjoy the podcast, and sorry for the middle hour — the audio cleans up in the last part.

This episode continues to have some audio issues thanks to Jonah leaving his expensive headset back in Los Angeles, forcing him to use his iPad once again as a mic. However, this week’s episode is chock full of game goodness.

This week’s episode includes the following news items:

Dragon Quest XI battle system further detailed
Overwatch has earned Activision Blizzard over $1 billion in less than a year
Steam changes cross-country gifting and gift trading
DOTA 2 is getting a co-op campaign with a story

Let us know what you think.
