This episode was delayed a few days thanks to some acting work for Jonah Falcon. The podcast moving forward will be recorded on Wednesdays, partly because videogame releases are on Tuesdays. The guys also discuss the disaster No Man’s Sky has been.

This week’s news includes:

EA strongly hints that Mass Effect games will get remastered
No Man’s Sky’s PC patch is out now
NPD: 3DS, Xbox One, And GTA V lead brutal July slump

All this and Listener Feedback, too.

The gang discusses the just-released Captain America: Civil War as well as mention the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse film, but they also do get into this week’s news, which is heavy on the Nintendo side.

The news includes:

Nintendo NX cartridge rumors abound
Fallout 4 Xbox One mods enter beta after May 19
Zelda anchors Nintendo E3 plans

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

February 18, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 11:59 am

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

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.

Episode 404: Rebel ScumEpisode 404: Rebel Scum

November 10, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 2:05 pm

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?”

Episode 403: Jam and the HooligansEpisode 403: Jam and the Hooligans

October 26, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:38 pm

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?
