This week’s episode is a little late due to a power outage. However, despite the lack of really interesting news, the crew still finds plenty to chat about. This week’s news includes: Switch outsells entire lifetime of Wii U in Japan The Tomb Kings bring crazy new units and crafting to Total War: Warhammer 2 State of Decay 2 is still on for a spring release Rebellion buys studio Radiant Worlds The Question of the Week is, “What popular game did you play long after its initial release?”

The audio quality is a little bad on this podcast, probably because Scott goes on and on about his fractured butt-hole. However, the episode was recorded on January 1, so there isn’t much news. The gang also challenges Paul to pop in and do an episode sometime. What news that was discussed includes: Project Phoenix accused of being a scam Platinum Games working on two self-published games Mutant Football League kicks off the New Year with a console launch All this and Listener Feedback. The Question of the Week remains, “What game are you looking forward to in 2018?”

It’s the last Gaming Podcast episode of 2018, and it’s three hours long! Well, it’s to make up for the fact we won’t be doing one next week. There are only two news items, but the entire bulk of the episode is our Game Awards for 2017, and we took a different tack than most sites and podcasts by inventing our own Awards Categories! The news we do discuss include: Soulcalibur 6 finally brings the tale of swords and souls to PC The Witcher 3 Xbox One X update could add support for HDR displays We also discussed the game we’re looking forward to the most in 2018 — let us know which one you are interested in!

This week’s episode focuses on the Patreon disaster and a major expansion for an important strategy game. Even more shockingly, the crew manage to remain on topic and not drift off into discussions about superheroes or global politics. The news discussions include: Patreon’s service fees anger creators, patrons Civilization VI: Rise and Fall announced Bungie admits “we’ve made mistakes” New Game Boy game released Let us know what your favorite games of 2017 are!

This week’s episode is unremarkable. Don’t expect any surprise guests or news, just a lot of chatting about comics and wandering way off the topic of video games. The news items for the week are: Valve implements methods to curtail Steam review bombing Matsuda insists Deus Ex not being discontinued Star Citizen releases new video, makes another $500K in a Day Kamiya wants to work on Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe remakes Let us know what you think.

This week’s podcast was delayed in publishing thanks to the holiday week being more hectic than usual. However, better late than never, and there’s even some listener feedback included! The news items include: Valkyria Chronicles 4 is mobilizing for deployment in the west in 2018 Clicker Heroes 2 developer abandons microtransaction model citing ethical concerns Rainbow Six Siege is getting a high-tech ninja named Vigil Minecraft is adding tridents, shipwrecks, dolphins and coral reefs in Spring 2018 Let us know what you think.

This week’s podcast has been seriously delayed due to Jonah’s computer going belly up, then having to deal with reinstalling everything. Not to worry, however, since everything on the old hard drive was saved. If that weren’t enough, Jonah is enjoying his new Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition. The news of the week includes: EA responds to community criticism of Battlefront 2 unlock system L.A. Noire remaster requires 29GB, forcing Switch version to require MicroSD card Physical media still “nation’s format of choice” for video games, says eBay Xbox One S available for lowest price yet If that weren’t enough, there’s about 30 minutes of outtakes we’re saving for the future as the gang talks about 2018. But that’s for an Outtakes episode.

This particular episode becomes a little sleepy as one host actually falls asleep during recording. Guess which one. After last week’s episode only partially uploaded, the Gaming Flashback for Okami is actually an insert, too. The news items include: It’s a big week for new game releases on Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC Lego Dimensions comes to an early end after two years Why Xbox One backward compatibility took so long Ex-BioWare says Anthem is an example of EA’s monetization plans Let us know what you think — without falling asleep first.

This week’s Gaming Flashback has no cake — instead it’s the history of Portal. The guys try to keep the podcast meme-free as they discuss Valve’s first person puzzle platformer. There’s also non-Portal related news items, too: Chris Avellone may be teasing a new Fallout game Street Fighter 5 will finally get an arcade mode in 2018 The SNES Classic has been hacked Telltale patch removes assassinated ambassador from Batman: The Enemy Within Let us know what you think in the Comments section.

As the episode title would imply, this week’s Gaming Flashback is Psychonauts, with Jonah revealing he’s a total fanboy and backed the sequel for over $800. He also has no idea what Oxenfree is, since he hadn’t played it yet. (He has, and realizes he was completely wrong about it being like Cabin in the Woods.) The news: Captain Falcon was almost the mascot of the SNES Hackers have already infiltrated the Call of Duty: WWII open beta Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘ non-violent discovery tour update wants to teach you history Let us know what you think.

For some reason, this episode was never uploaded, though it was recorded two weeks ago. The Gaming Flashback is Mass Effect, and the news includes: After the fall update, development on Battleborn will cease Every Nintendo Switch may contain a hidden copy of NES Golf Divinity: Original Sin 2 boasts over 75,000 concurrent players on Steam

This week is a week late due to various issues, but Hurricane Irma was not one of them, as Scott recorded his part of the podcast from Georgia, while Jonah and T.J. live far away from hurricane zones. In the meantime, T.J. goes from being disappointed with Destiny and being ecstatic with Destiny 2. This week’s news includes: Destiny 2 passes 1 million concurrent users Half-Life writer posts possible Half-Life 2: Episode 3 plot American McGee is ready to make Alice 3 Settlers of Catan is coming to virtual reality this year Act 1 of Homestuck adventure game Hiveswap coming out this month (from PC Gamer) Pewdiepie threatened DMCA takedown following his use of the N-word on stream Okami HD spotted for PC, PS4, Xbox One This week’s Gaming Flashback is the original Assassin’s Creed. Let us know what you think of the game.

The Gaming Podcast is back after a week off, and it celebrates the 10th year anniversary of BioShock with its own Gaming Flashback. They also touch on its sequels, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite. It’s not all BioShock, however, as the following news items are discussed: Bethesda Game Of Thrones project potentially leaked PUBG becomes the biggest game on Steam $200 price cut brings HTC Vive down to $599 Thimbleweed Park’s arcade is now open Let us know if you enjoyed any of the BioShock games.

This week’s episode is 50% longer as the first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the reaction to Jim Sterling’s explosive review of Hellblade and his subsequent recanting later that day. This week has no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but there are six news items to make up for it. The items include: EA talks about Nintendo Switch support Rainbow Six: Siege “Operation Blood Orchid” update launches August 29 Myth-inspired RTS Deadhold charges into Early Access later this month No Man’s Sky “Atlas Rises” update adds story content and “limited” online co-op EA says Star Wars: Battlefront “lacked long-term goals” Moons of Madness is Lovecraftian horror on Mars Let us know what you think.

This week’s episode not only has a Gaming Flashback, but a Gaming History as well. The Flashback looks at the hardware intensive PC game Crysis, while the Gaming History looks at one of the bigger crowdfunding fiascos, Starforge. Jonah also reminds viewers that the “mayo” in the Splatfest for Splatoon 2 probably wasn’t actually mayo. This week’s news items include: Lexington video game company sues after personal information posted online New game combines monster taming and Stardew Valley Respawn: “We’re doing more Titanfall“ Destiny 2 will not offer customization of imported characters Question of the Week: “What two games would you like to see combined?”
