March 31, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 5:52 pm

This week’s episode is full of pop culture… well, most of it got sliced off as outtakes, but there’s still plenty of pop culture. What there is a lot of these days is virtual reality, and none of it even involves the Virtual Boy. Jonah, Scott and T.J. discuss some of the rumors going on as well.

The news this week includes:

Fallout 4’s Far Harbor will be bigger than any previous Bethesda expansion
Outer Rim DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront still having issues
Sony hints PlayStation VR may come to PC

Let us know what you think.

This week’s episode runs pretty long as TJ Denzer returns from his bowling trip. Scott goes ballistic over the Harry Potter franchise with Twilight, and other than that, a lot of pop culture discussion.

This week’s news includes:

Nintendo deletes every stage by prominent Mario Maker speedrunner
Telltale’s take on Batman will be M-rated, launches this summer
Original Diablo design docs show it was to be a classic turn-based rogue-like
30 launch titles for Oculus Rift revealed, each with “Comfort” ratings

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
id Software: DOOM reboot single player campaign around 13 hours

Question of the Week: “What is your favorite FPS?”

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 is a little late thanks to unforeseen circumstances, but nothing will stop us from posting new episodes. It’s actually one day late, since last week was a week off, thanks to Podbean limits and Halloween. On that note, this week, Jonah had to erase a spoiler segment about The Force Awakens, but enough remains of the convo discussing other parts of the upcoming movie.

This week’s news:

Sony not to offer backwards compatibility
Advertising Standards Authority rules Valve misled customers with Grand Theft Auto V Steam Sale
The Witcher movie slated for 2017
Ubisoft admits poor Syndicate sales are due to franchise fatigue caused by Unity
World of Warcraft paid subscribers at a nine year low at 5.5M

The Question of the Week is what we usually ask ourselves, but with all the new games coming out, “What have you been playing this week?”

The episode is a day late, sorry about that, folks. In this episode, we wish Paul was with us to discuss what he thought of the release of Jem and the Holograms in theaters. The banter is strong, but not overstuffed like last week.

Lots of news this week, however:

Konami insists Hideo Kojima still works at company
343 Industries not ruling out PC port of Halo 5
Rebellion rescues Kickstarter backers from GRIN’s bankruptcy
Classic car combat RPG Autoduel may be making a comeback with inXile
Pete Hines: Entire game not on Fallout 4 PC disc
Vivendi seeking more shares of Ubisoft, board seats

The Question on the Week: Do you prefer first person or isometric RPGs?

A good episode this time, if a little meandering. The episode is slowly reaching its milestone.

The news items for the week include:

Nintendo patents new hardware, doesn’t include a disc drive
VS. Excitebike coming to Nintendo’s Virtual Console
Nintendo increasingly considering movies
2DS dropping to $100

Paul is back from being deathly ill, and joins a half-asleep Jonah and Scott, where he and Scott try to have better timing. There’s no Gaming Flashback this week but plenty of weird news.

The list of news items include:

Disturbing portrait of Konami corporate environment alleged
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: player choices more impactful, boss fights optional
ZombiU drops the “U,” preps for August launch on PC, Xbox One, PS4
Fallout 4 fan releases schematic for 3D printed Pip-Boy
Vote to play coming soon for PS Plus members
Hitchhiking robot is decapitated, left in a ditch

There’s a new Question of the Week that wasn’t going to be the Question – listen and find out what it is.

July 29, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:32 pm

Paul’s not in this episode due to sickness, so it’s just Jonah and Scott, the former who berates the latter for the lack of any listener feedback. There is a Gaming Flashback this time, with the classic 80’s arcade game Pepper II.

The news includes:

China ending restrictions on gaming console sales
Capcom is sorry about the Street Fighter V beta
Video gaming organization to start testing gamers for drugs
Not even “a s—load” of Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Editions is enough for the world

The Question of the Week: “What makes a good expansion?”

This podcast was recorded on short notice, so it’s on the short side. It’s also a little dated, since the Fallout 4 news was going to be announced the next day at the recording, and the publishing is a day after it’s official reveal. There’s an actual Gaming Flashback this week, with Destroy All Humans!, which shockingly Paul never played.

The news in this podcast includes:

Indie dev discusses where the money goes
Fallout 4 announcement coming June 3
New Steam refunds policy makes some devs concerned

All this and Listener Feeedback.
