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, TD Gaming Podcast talks about Battlefield V and how a certain part of the gamer population completely lost their minds over it. There was also a half-hour discussion of Second Life, shoot-em-up, and developer Treasure, with web searches and aimless conversation that went nowhere. This week’s news: The Steam Link Mobile App has been blocked by Apple Killer7 is coming to Steam this Fall The Wolf Among Us 2 coming in 2019 Mega Man X-inspired roguelike 20XX coming to consoles WWII-themed Battlefield V drops October 19, abandons paid expansion model Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Jonah suffers from spring flu this episode, which you can probably here in his voice. There’s a long discussion about isometric roleplaying games, and for the first time in a while, there’s no Gaming Flashback. This week’s news items include: id Software partnering with Mad Max dev Avalanche Studios to develop Rage 2 Radical Heights developer Boss Key Games shuts down Platinum claims it will “turn the action genre on its head” Redditor leaks potential Star Fox racing spin-off from Retro Studios Let us know what you think.

This episode follows the landmark 500th episode, and this next episode is dominated by Nintendo, both in the news and looking back at the Gaming Flashback for Wii Music and the infamous E3 performance starring Reggie Fils-Aime and Cammie Dunaway. The news includes: Nintendo Labo first week sales sluggish in Japan, UK Atari announces Atari VCS pre-sale begins May 30th on IndieGogo Eastfound looks to scratch that retro Zelda itch Nintendo starts moving to a Wii-like “non-gamer” strategy for the Switch All of this and Listener Feedback.

After 11 years, VGRT Gaming Podcast, nee “Technical Diversions (TD) Gaming Podcast”, has hit the magic 500th episode, with not only former co-host Paul Nowak joining in on the celebration, but 2Old2Play’s Derek Nolan and former co-host Dan Quick sending their congrats as well. Paul’s presence is the go-ahead to give TJ and Scott permission to razz Jonah to no end, while Parker Brother board games are compared. This week’s Gaming Flashback is World of Goo. The news for this magical 500th episode includes: “King of Kong” star stripped of high scores, banned from competition Croteam and Devolver promise a “brutally bigger” new Serious Sam SNK teasing its own classic compilation console Nintendo overhauls parental control app for Switch Question of the Week: “If you were a classic Parker Brothers board game, which would you be?” [Song: “The Field Of Cormallen” by David Arkenstone.]

Yeah, we recorded this on April 2 and are just releasing this on April 12 — because during this time Jonah went to PAX East, then visited his mother in NYC, and things have calmed down about now. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the overly cute LittleBigPlanet… and to think it was a major topic of conversation in the early days of the podcast. How time has passed. This week’s news items include: You can play de_dust2 in Far Cry Arcade No Man’s Sky coming to Xbox One later this year You’d think that wouldn’t be enough news for 90 minutes, but that’s ok. We go off on tangents all the time.

This week’s podcast is a little late thanks to life interrupting, but better late than never. We discuss the Gaming Flashback, Robocop, and other weird tangeants that have nothing to do with videogames. The news this week includes: PUBG is “considering” region-locked servers Rare cancels planned Sea of Thieves “death cost” after player complaints Red Dead Redemption 2 leak teases Battle Royale Mode All this and Listener Feedback.

The podcast slowly inches towards the magic 500th episode of Gaming Podcast, representing over 11 years of yakking about video games. For a Gaming Flashback, the gang looks at arguably the last good Mario game, Super Mario Galaxy. They also discuss the phenomenon that is Fortnite. As for the gaming news, this week includes: Atari reveals Ataribox, renamed Atari VCS Ys: Memories of Celceta will arrive on PC this summer Fortnite is already the second highest grossing game on iOS Top Fortnite streamer Ninja earns $500,000 per month Do you play Fortnite? Let us know.

This week starts with two hosts and mysteriously turns into three without any warning. It’s scary. Otherwise, this week’s Gaming Flashback is the source of scorn from the hosts: Spore. Yes, SimEverything was SimDisappointing. Listen in and find out why. The news for this week includes: Xbox head tweets support of PS4/Xbox One crossplay on Fortnite Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has already sold 500,000 copies Writer Drew Karpyshyn leaves BioWare for a second time Let us know what you think.

This week, Scott and T.J. talk about playing Monster Hunter World on their PlayStation 4’s, while Jonah talks about how bad his experience with the console version of Prey was.

This episode’s release was delayed by Spectrum internet outage thanks to rain caused by El Niño, but that didn’t stop Jonah from enjoying the Turtles. The news was slow this week, so there’s a lot of banter about why Gaming Flashback title Grand Theft Auto IV was one of the best reviewed games of all-time, and how the crew thought it sucked. Maybe it was because of Roman constantly asking them if they’d like to go bowling or something. This week’s news includes: CD Projekt touts Cyberpunk 2077 as a “blockbuster franchise” Minecraft Chemistry update goes live Bandai Namco outlines plans to address Dragon Ball FighterZ online issues Let us know what you thought of Grand Theft Auto IV.

So, two weeks ago, the audio was so corrupted, there was nothing that could be salvaged. A week later, the podcast only had one track working, so it was like Jonah speaking to imaginary people only he could hear. This podcast is finally perfect, with Rock Band being the Gaming Flashback. This week’s news includes: System Shock reboot that raised $1.3M on Kickstarter is now on “hiatus” Dragon Ball FighterZ’s premium DLC characters revealed Rumor: Diablo III is coming to Nintendo Switch Let us know what you think.

This week, TJ talks about how much he’s loving Dragon Ball Fighter Z, and how he enjoys using one character’s OP exploit to take down opponents with breathtaking quickness. Jonah brings up doing a special podcast, like Paul, Jordan and Jennifer did with Doctor Who, except with Star Trek this time. All this and this week’s news, which includes: Sega teams up with Heavy Rain lead designer’s new studio to publish “narrative-driven” game Rainbow Six: Siege tweet suggests upcoming PS4 Pro & Xbox One X support Microsoft’s Mixer streaming service to get Twitch-style tipping FIFA E-World Cup forced to switch to Xbox due to PSN outage This week’s Question of the Week is “What game have you ended up playing til sunrise?”

Aside from cardboard products by Nintendo, there wasn’t much to talk about this week, thanks to the January slog. However, the guys did play games and there was some news to talk about. This week’s headlines include: NIS America admits it has no idea when Ys VIII will launch on PC New Fortnite: Battle Royale update available now Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age releases in just a few weeks on PC All this and Listener Feedback, too.

This week’s episode was recorded on time, but publication was late thanks to power outages again. There’s no discussion of Nintendo’s $70 cardboard arts and crafts project (that’ll be the subject of the next episode), but a Switch emulator does get some discussion. The news this week: Battlefield 1 is setting one of its maps free this week LEGO Incredibles 2 and DC Villains games reportedly in the works BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle has nabbed a Western release date Stardew Valley creator teases multiplayer This week’s Question of the Week is again “What popular game did you play long after its initial release?”
