September 14, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:52 pm

This week is a week late due to various issues, but Hurricane Irma was not one of them, as Scott recorded his part of the podcast from Georgia, while Jonah and T.J. live far away from hurricane zones. In the meantime, T.J. goes from being disappointed with Destiny and being ecstatic with Destiny 2.

This week’s news includes:

Destiny 2 passes 1 million concurrent users
Half-Life writer posts possible Half-Life 2: Episode 3 plot
American McGee is ready to make Alice 3

August 17, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:59 pm

This week’s episode is 50% longer as the first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the reaction to Jim Sterling’s explosive review of Hellblade and his subsequent recanting later that day. This week has no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but there are six news items to make up for it.

The items include:

EA talks about Nintendo Switch support
Rainbow Six: Siege “Operation Blood Orchid” update launches August 29
Myth-inspired RTS Deadhold charges into Early Access later this month
No Man’s Sky “Atlas Rises” update adds story content and “limited” online co-op

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

August 3, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 12:42 pm

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

July 26, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:12 pm

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.

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.

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.
