November 2, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 2:35 am

Jonah and TJ finally got to play Red Dead Redemption 2, and discuss how great it is and how disappointing it is at the same time. Great and disappointing can also describe the Gaming Flashback with 2008’s Mirror’s Edge, along with its awesome theme song, which Jonah is addicted to.

The news this week includes:

Nintendo recommits to “keep the business going” for 3DS
Capcom has “high expectations” for Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 2
Pachter: Red Dead Redemption 2 coming to PC in April

Let us know if you’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption 2.

This week the guys have gotten back to talking about games from the past, as this week the Gaming Flashback is 2008’s Braid, Jonathan Blow’s influential indie game, which was followed by The Witness, which was… less influential. The guys also keep drooling over Red Dead Redemption 2.

The news items include:

Forza Horizon devs recruit staff for unannounced RPG
Hollow Knight comes to PS4 and Xbox One on September 25
Rumor: Halo 5: Guardians coming to PC
Red Dead Redemption 2 leaks tease Battle Royale mode

August 2, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 4:34 pm

This week’s episode didn’t initially have a Gaming Flashback, but the crew accidentally started one with 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, which shouldn’t be a flashback since it fails the “10 Year Rule”, but it was so fun to talk about, it became one. They also found some interesting stuff in a thin-news week, which is the usual for Summer.

The news includes:

Valve adds temporary fix for fake item scams on Steam
Halo devs not working on Battle Royale mode for Infinite
Nintendo Switch sales near 20m, down slightly on last year
Playground Games staffs up for the rumored Fable reboot

Let us know what you think.

June 10, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:00 pm

This week’s episode is very late thanks to Jonah having to prep for E3, which much of the podcast focuses on. There’s even a massive argument between Jonah and TJ about which film was better: Tron or Tron: Legacy, while Tron 2.0 gets its love as well. This week’s Gaming Flashback is Microsoft’s most popular JRPG, Blue Dragon.

The news items include:

Capcom registers Devil May Cry 5 site, fueling E3 2018 rumors
Ubisoft confirms E3 reveal of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Rumor: Microsoft to reveal three Gears of War games at E3
Rumor: Rocksteady to announce a Superman game at E3

What do you expect from E3? Let us know.

id Software partnering with Mad Max dev Avalanche Studios to develop Rage 2
Radical Heights developer Boss Key Games shuts down

October 15, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 1:11 am

This week’s Gaming Flashback has no cake — instead it’s the history of Portal. The guys try to keep the podcast meme-free as they discuss Valve’s first person puzzle platformer.

There’s also non-Portal related news items, too:

Chris Avellone may be teasing a new Fallout game
Street Fighter 5 will finally get an arcade mode in 2018
The SNES Classic has been hacked
Telltale patch removes assassinated ambassador from Batman: The Enemy Within

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

April 10, 2014| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:23 am

This week’s podcast features the Gaming Flashback of Final Fantasy VI, which takes up a third of the podcast as Paul and Jordan enthuse about the Japanese roleplaying game at length – so much so, that some news items were skipped over due to running length. Jonah prepares for his trip to PAX East 2014 for the weekend. He also proclaims Emperor Palpatine dancing in Kinect Star Wars the best thing to ever happen for Star Wars.

This week’s news includes:

Amazon says FireTV will boost mid-market games
Borderlands 2 Vita bundle hits on May 6, game launches May 13
Molyneux predicts Kinect-less Xbox One
