The first episode of 2014 is now out, as Jonah Falcon, Jordan Lund and Dan Quick recap the major news of 2014. The news includes: PC gaming exploding Next-gen launches, including Microsoft’s 180 Nintendo Wii U suffers Nintendo Announces 2DS Microconsoles launched Tech flops of 2013 Also, some Listener Feedback, and the Questions of the Week, “What was the biggest event of 2013? What was your favorite game?”

Thanks to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, Gaming Podcast is running an Outtakes episode, which features mostly Jonah Falcon and Jordan Lund, but a little Paul Nowak and Dan Quick. If that weren’t enough, right after the outtakes is a Dr. Who discussion by usual commentators Jordan, his wife Jennifer and Paul.

This week, Jordan reveals that he actually won an Xbox One from work, making him the second owner of the console in the podcast, and the only one with both a One and a PS4. Unfortunately, Paul’s not available for the podcast, making it a podcast of two. The news this week: Square Enix confirms Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for next-gen EA donates $1.65 million to American Cancer Society following Humble campaign Report: MMOs targeted by intelligence agencies Ubisoft polling on Assassin’s Creed 5, non-Assassin pirate game Report: Disney taking over Indiana Jones from Paramount Also, listener Pawel Predki wrote his own review of Tearaway. Read it here.

Despite the title of the podcast episode this week, nothing is boring. Rather, there’s a ton of banter between Jonah, Paul and Jordan, as they discuss next-gen console gaming. This week’s news items include: Amazon testing package delivery by drone Microsoft advises gamers against turning the Xbox One into a dev kit There’s “no lack of ideas” at DICE, CEO ponders local weather for Battlefield Xbox One beats PS4 sales at Walmart, Target Epic: “We’ve yet to see the real value of the second screen” Sega: Shenmue 3 trademark listing a hoax All this and some Listener Feedback.

Paul returns to the Gaming Podcast, having doing the major work on the Facebook game he’d been helping develop, Team USA Pinsanity. The trio argue over boss battles, and this week’s Gaming Flashback is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Jordan also finally has a great Vita game to fawn over, Tearaway. Take-Two files ‘Bully Bullsworth Academy’ trademark in Europe Twitch cracks down on PS4 Playroom inappropriate content Blizzard dev apologizes for remarks on sexualized designs Sony to make $250M entertainment cuts, “nothing too sacred” The Question of the Week: “What is your opinion on boss battles?”

Gaming Podcast is back after a week off, as Jordan talks about playing games on his brand-new PlayStation 4, while Jonah is anxious and worried about the Xbox One launch this week. There’s also a ton of news this week, including: Unlucky PlayStation 4 owners face ‘blue light of death’ Report: Apple in “talks” to purchase co-creators of original Kinect tech Ubisoft explains why launch games underwhelm Xbox One launch official broadcast available through Spike, GameTrailers Survey: only 1 percent of gamers want a Wii U this Holiday season Ken Levine defends BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 1‘s length World of Warcraft not going free-to-play, stop asking More Fallout 4 evidence pops up with trademark registration And the Question of the Week: “What was the best budget game you ever bought?”

This week’s episode has Jonah ranting about the shoddy QA in Batman: Arkham Origins, while Jordan admits he never used those Xbox Live cards that came free with some games. In the meantime, the Gaming Flashback is the classic Apple ][ game Bolo. The news this week includes: EA splits from Tiger Woods Rumor: Xbox One SDK plagued by eleventh hours bugs Apple sells 33.8m iPhones, 14.1m iPads in September quarter Nvidia Shield update adds official PC streaming, console mode, more Android support Fans trash Call of Duty: Ghosts booth at a games expo No Question of the Week this week – just looking for Listener feedback.

This week is on the short side, though Jonah and Jordan discuss pop culture like Red Letter Media, The Venture Bros. and Cave Johnson’s lemon ranting. There’s no Gaming Podcast or Gaming History, but there’s plenty of Listener Feedback and news items. The news includes: Source: RI governor Lincoln Chafee deliberately torpedoed Studio 38 UK online retailer SimplyGames enforcing PS4 bundles Half-Life 3 removed from trademark registery – Portal 3 appears The Last Guardian developers “re-engineering” the game, never was on “hiatus” Grand Theft Auto Online microtransactions disabled while server issues persist No “Question of the Week” – this week is Listener Questions – send ‘em in!

This week’s podcast has Jonah having a new job, while some really long Listener Feedback letters lengthen the podcast. In fact, several discussions between Jonah and Jordan were cut and will be in a near-future Outtakes episode. This week is full of news as well, including: Star Wars 1313 was to have starred Boba Fett after all Shadow of the Eternals dev Precursor Games disbands Techland: Dying Light isn’t another Dead Island China lifts console ban, Microsoft collaborating with BesTV to make new console Watch Dogs ships on two discs, requires install, 30 FPS cap on Xbox One and PS4 That plus the long Listener Feedback, and Jordan has an appeal to veteran listeners to write in.

Jordan is back, and even though he’s not 100%, he’s still well enough to do the podcast. He and Jonah discuss what things make them stop playing a game, while the rest of the podcast is all about Grand Theft Auto V. They also get into discussions about laserdisc players. The news includes: Microsoft: Women make up 40% of Xbox Live audience Rumor: Steam Box announcement on Monday Grand Theft Auto V hits $1B in sales after 72 hours Dead Rising 3 “frame-locked at 30″ on Xbox One Sony offers fix for GTA5 error 80029564 crashing system on install All this and Listener Feedback, as well as the Question of the Week, “When will the current generation of consoles discontinue?”

There’s no Gaming History or Gaming Flashback, but tons of news items.

This week’s podcast has no Listener Feedback, and is sort of short because of it. However, in addition to the news items that were on script, there was the surprise news of how much Grand Theft Auto V cost to produce. This week’s news includes: Xbox One gets November 22 launch date Each Xbox One to be sold at a profit PS4 only supports 4 controllers PS4 and Xbox One won’t support external hard drives for now Sony refunds Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn PSN purchases This week’s Question of the Week asks if you’ve ever gotten a new version of the console you already owned.
