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.

This week was a hot time for Jonah — really hot time as Los Angeles was sweltering and the Arctic was literally on fire. However, that didn’t stop the crew from doing the podcast (albeit a day late), though the news was a bit thin again.

The news items for the week include:

• The C64 Mini is coming to North America on October 9
• Datamined logo offers more evidence Taiko Drum Master for Switch is coming West
• Next Xbox will focus on “XCloud” game streaming
• GOG: Classic console games “might be possible”

The Question of the Week: “What little known game did you love?”

TJ announces his nuptials the previous week, finally marrying his live-in girlfriend of 10 years. All that, and many parables that had to be cut from the podcast lest it last 90 minutes.

That said, there’s plenty of news this week:

• The Battlefield 5 beta will take place in early September
• Rainbow Six Siege now insta-banning players using hate speech
• Pokemon GO Fest attendance announced
• Star Citizen refund refusals

Last week’s episode was a bust, and there was a strange glitch in this one that caused the audio on Jonah’s side to completely cut out. However, it’s been recovered, and this episode deals with the direct-to-Blu-Ray animated film Batman Ninja.

This week’s news includes:

• Fallout 76 has fast travel, and players under level 5 can’t die in PvP
• Indivisible, the RPG from the creators of Skullgirls, gets a stunning anime teaser
• Monster Hunter: World PC won’t have mod support at launch
• Marvel Comics legend, Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko found dead at 90

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.

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!

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
