If you’re wondering what happened to Episode 405, it was recorded, but Jonah’s power supply self-destructed, and wasn’t available til Wednesday, and by then it was too late to post it. (It will be posted at some point in the near future.)

Instead, check out these week’s news:

Afro Samurai 2 removed from online stores, players get refunded, episodes 2 and 3 canceled
Activision apologizes for Nuk3town pre-order mix up
PlayStation 4 is getting PlayStation 2 emulation, Sony reveals
Electronic Arts doesn’t want to “nickel and dime” gamers with microtransactions

Question of the Week: Do you or have you pulled videogame all-nighters on weeknights?

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?”

This week’s episode was deliberately delayed because there will be a new day we record: Friday, which means the podcasts will be released on Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, the Dr. Who episode preceding this gave us a little space, and now this podcast will be setting the stage for future episodes.

This week’s news includes:

Rumor: Caveman game teased by Ubisoft leaked as Far Cry Primal
Steam Sections coming to major videogame retailers this November
Sony: “Climate is not healthy” for a new PlayStation handheld
LEGO Dimensions outsells Skylanders Superchargers and Disney Infinity 3.0
Fan turns to the crowd for Pokemon PAX party settlement

April 5, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:40 am

This episode was recorded on short notice thanks to last week’s late posting, so the Listener Feedback that responded to 382 couldn’t make it here. Paul and Jonah discuss some board games with remarkably similar themes they played in the past few days. Paul also waits for his compensation for The Sims Freeplay.

The news of the week includes:

Microsoft discontinues Kinect for Windows
Microsoft says open source Windows is “definitely possible”
OnLive shuts down streaming games service, sells patents to Sony
Mario Maker gets release date

No Listener Feedback this week, so the Question of the Week remains the same: “What do you think the future is for old games?”
