Episode 463: Not an April Fool’s EpisodeEpisode 463: Not an April Fool’s Episode

April 8, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:43 pm

This week’s episode has nothing to do with April Fool’s Day, since that was a week ago. There’s nothing surprising about the crew this time around, though Jonah does finally give his final (?) thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Zelda keeps getting heavy praise. The Persona 5 news item alone spurred a ton of debate.

This week’s episode includes the following news:

Twitch and YouTube streamers slam Persona 5‘s video policy
Total War: Warhammer 2 announced with a new trailer
Valve only wants to sell you good games
Nintendo might have accidentally revealed that Pokemon is coming to the Switch

Let us know what you think of the heated discussions in the episode.

April 28, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:07 pm

This week’s a lot of discussion of comic book movies, including the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War”. In fact, it dominates most of the podcast. However, there is some discussion of video games.

This week’s news includes:

Free money suddenly showed up in some people’s Steam accounts
“Obviously there’s going to be another Borderlands,” says Gearbox
Rumor: Nintendo NX to be officially revealed this or next week
Rumor: Xbox One upgrade under development at Microsoft

Question of the Week: “Would you buy a updated console like the PlayStation 4.5 or Xbox One and a Half?”

January 5, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 7:36 pm

It’s 2016, and the first podcast of the new year is now live. Be warned, there are Star Wars spoilers like Han Solo dying and the entire plot being a rehash of A New Hope, so don’t listen if you don’t want to have your The Force Awakens experience ruined.

This week’s podcast covers the following news:

Valve explains Steam issues on December 25
Star Wars Battlefront won’t be doing The Force Awakens or space battles content
New pachinko laws pushes SNK back to videogames

Question of the Week: “Which game do you really want to play in 2016.”

Episode 407: Third Time’s the CharmEpisode 407: Third Time’s the Charm

December 23, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 7:46 pm

If you’re wondering where the podcast has been, it’s been in technical hell. Twice the podcast was recorded each week, and both times there were serious technical issues. This time, we’ve got it right, and even have Paul dropping by to discuss his new book, “Gaymers: the Difference a ‘Y’ Makes: How (and Why) to Make Video Games LGBT Players Care About“. Actually, it’s mostly dominated by a discussion of an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

Otherwise, the news items include:

Kojima end of Konami employment
French consumer advocate suing Valve over violating consumer rights
Ken Levine states gamers prefer open world to linear narrative

The Question of the Week: “Who is your favorite superhero?”

October 10, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:56 pm

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

Episode 396: Getting TargetedEpisode 396: Getting Targeted

August 20, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:00 pm

This week’s episode is very long to make up for the crappiness of last week’s episode, and the crew have fun with the trolling of Target critics this past week.

The news this week includes:

Guillermo del Toro quits videogame development
There is no suspend feature for Steam Machines
Gamescom sets attendance record
Chinese console crowdfunding project manages to rip off PS4 and Xbox One

This and Listener Feedback.

Episode 387: Some FalloutEpisode 387: Some Fallout

June 4, 2015| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:55 pm

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.

Alienware Steam Machine priced ‘very competitive’ with PS4, Xbox One
Nintendo must pay royalties for every 3DS following court ruling
