Episode 506: E3 Swag and Sony SagEpisode 506: E3 Swag and Sony Sag

June 27, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 2:54 am

This episode follows the three hour long E3 episode, but there was so much E3 to talk about, a lot of the show spilled over into this show, including the crew talking about the swag Jonah sent to them, and Sony’s “winning” of E3 in terms of media attention. There was going to be a Gaming History, but the episode ran long and they weren’t going to have a two hour podcast after a three hour one.

The news of the week includes:

Microsoft and Nintendo troll Sony over crossplay
Bethesda lawsuit says Westworld game stole Fallout Shelter code
Microsoft and Razer are working on Xbox keyboard and mouse support
Nintendo Switch could get its own new Monster Hunter games
Life is Strange 2 Episode One release date revealed

There was some Listener Feedback to last week’s episode, too.

Episode 505: 3 Hours Of E3Episode 505: 3 Hours Of E3

June 16, 2018| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 8:36 pm

This week’s episode is three hours long — Jonah’s mic was moving in the first minute, but after that, it’s ok. There’s no news, just discussion of each of the press briefings that preceded E3, as well as some of the games that Jonah got hands-on time with. TJ is sad that he didn’t get to attend this year, while Scott is getting E3 swag.

Next week, back to news items!

Episode 504: Very Very LateEpisode 504: Very Very Late

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.

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:

Episode 456: What’s Coming in 2017Episode 456: What’s Coming in 2017

February 12, 2017| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 11:07 pm

This week, the gang ponder about the games that are coming in 2017, thinking about what they’re really interested in. The games range from Mass Effect: Andromeda to Injustice 2, among other titles. It’s a long rambling conversation, but at least it’s hope. The Gaming History focuses on the folly that was The Capcom 5.

The news items this week include:

Fallout 4 surpasses Skyrim to become Bethesda’s most successful game ever
Rainbow Six Siege year two: free loot, better matchmaking, subversive operators
E3 2017 will be open to the public

The Question of the Week is “What game are you looking forward to in 2017?”

Episode 449: More Technical DifficultiesEpisode 449: More Technical Difficulties

December 9, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:43 pm

For the second week in a row, the podcast has had some technical issues. This time the problem was less, but there are still present. Part of the reason is that the mic is subpar, the other is that the PC it’s being recorded on has a damaged fan. That said, this week’s episode (and the unreleased episode) were really good. The unpublished one will be issued at some future date when we all need a break (maybe over the Christmas week.)

This week’s episode includes:

Assassin’s Creed 3 goes free, murders Ubisoft servers in the process
After Blizzard shutdown, legacy World of Warcraft server returns this month
Halo 5: Forge custom game browser is launching on PC this week
Report: Nintendo Switch will get GameCube Games

Let us know what your favorite 2016 game has been.

October 9, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:38 pm

No, that’s not a clever pun. For whatever reason, the opening intro is missing from the file. It’s just not there – perhaps the recording software was late in starting.

Regardless, the crew discuss the Palmer Luckey scandal before moving head with a new segment, just to discuss random stuff they’ve seen that isn’t on the news docket.

Speaking of which, the news includes:

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is happening, original game free on PC next week
The Witcher 3 success “marred my books,” claims author
October has arrived, and the Nintendo NX has not
Fallout 4/Skyrim mods are back on for PlayStation 4, with one big caveat

All this and Listener Feedback!

February 25, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 6:26 pm

This week’s podcast isn’t the best, but at least we tried, right? There’s a lot of chatter, and Scott gets really angry at people criticizing Star Wars.

Street Fighter 5 Arcade Mode being considered
Experimental 5D data storage could store 360TB of games for 13.8 billion years

January 19, 2016| Jonah Falcon| 0 Comment| 9:40 pm
