This week’s episode as a guest in the form of Jordan Lund’s wife Jennifer. There was to be a Gaming History, but it’ll be used next week when there’s more time. This week’s news includes: Microsoft Points transformed into cash Gamers can return digital titles on Origin after a week Bungie feels Destiny can be bigger than Halo, as big as Star Wars Borderlands 2 coming to PlayStation Vita Sony announces 33 “launch” titles for PlayStation 4 Microsoft announces launch titles for Xbox One The Sims 4 emotional gameplay revealed at GamesCom 2013 All this and Listener Feedback, with the same “console or PC gamer?” question from last week.

This week, Jonah Falcon and Jordan Lund discuss a little pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons, while the Gaming Flashback this week is the Microsoft Xbox, ending the coverage of the sixth generation consoles in the past few podcasts.

The posting of Monday’s podcast has been delayed a day, sorry about that. This week is fairly long, and the Gaming History gets into the venerable Sega Dreamcast, which still has some developers making new games for it. Otherwise, this week’s news items include: Assassin’s Creed series will have end, assures Ubisoft EverQuest Next gameplay revealed, accepting beta registration Blizzard confirms Project Titan overhaul, “unlikely to be subscription-based” EA claims freedom of speech in NCAA lawsuit appeal, court rejects it Region-based factions will be in The Crew This week’s Question of the Week: “What makes you decide to preorder a game or console?”

There’s no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but there is a crapton of news this week on TD Gaming Podcast, which Jonah Falcon and Jordan Lund eagerly read. That, and Jordan really wants to know what you have been playing. The news this week includes: Microsoft officially announces indie self-publishing, to be unveiled at GamesCom 2013 Phil Fish explodes on Twitter, cancels Fez II in a huff Shadow of the Eternals back on Kickstarter, no longer episodic Neil Gaiman has announced his first videogame, Wayward Manor Lanning: Nintendo will be around for “100 years,” but probably not Zynga or Microsoft Activision-Blizzard buys out $8.2B of its own stock from Vivendi Paid subscribership of World of Warcraft down to 7.7M All this and Listener feedback.

This week’s podcast is full of Android-based console goodness – or badness, depending on your opinion of them. This week’s Gaming History looks at the Nintendo GameCube. This week’s news includes: Ouya game developers sound off on disappointing sales numbers Nvidia plans July 31st launch of the Shield Telltale Games confirms Clementine returns to The Walking Dead Star Control now owned by Stardock Battlestar Galactica writer/producer collaborating with Sony Santa Monica All this and Listener Feedback, as well as the Question of the Week: “What is your favorite first person shooter of all time?”

In this episode, Jordan’s son Allen gets in on the act, berating League of Legends despite being addicted to it. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the Sierra Online adventure game Police Quest, while the Gaming History is how BioWare prepared to develop their first Star Wars game, Knights of the Old Republic.

Jonah is getting ready for Vegas this weekend, so you know that whatever he does there will probably stay there. On the other hand, Jordan’s just beginning to check out State of Decay, while the winner of the T-shirt contest is announced. Also, for the first time in a long while, there’s a Gaming History – this one on the PlayStation 2.

This week’s podcast is fairly heavy on the Xbox One news, but at least it makes for a themed podcast. Jordan expresses his fears at controllers that look at you, while QWOP and Surgeon Simulator 2013 are discussed. This week’s news includes: PS4 did have always on DRM, camera, but Sony changed it at E3 Report: Xbox One’s capabilities better than Microsoft expected Report: Xbox One will be able to run Windows 8 apps Xbox One getting Unity support to aid indie developers Half-Life 3 rumors squashed by Surgeon Simulator 2013 dev Star Citizen asset cost for ships “anywhere from $35,000 to $150,000″ The “Win a Titanfall T-shirt” contest continues. Merely answer, “What game at E3 impressed you the most?” to enter to win a large size tee.

Jordan Lund and Jonah Falcon finally get back together after an eventful E3 2013, as Jordan finished his not-so-stellar review of The Last of Us. Part of the podcast was from Jonah’s live television show on MNN, which recapped Microsoft’s decision to reverse its online policies with the Xbox One.

While Jonah Falcon is at E3 2013, this week is an Outtakes podcast, started with a Dr. Who discussion, ended by a Game of Thrones “Red Wedding” discussion, and outtakes in between.

This week’s episode is the final episode before E3, and next week, an outtakes episode filled with Dr. Who and Game of Thrones discussion will run. After that, we’ll have some serious E3 2013 discussion, especially about what happens with Microsoft and Sony in particular.

This week is just Jonah Falcon and Jordan Lund, but the podcast is double length as the Xbox One dominates the last part of the podcast. There’s also the Gaming Flashback of Bungie’s Oni. This week’s news includes: Games Industry Biz eulogizes Wii U, states it suffered “death by apathy” Xbox One revealed by Microsoft Microsoft: No fees for used games, special dispensation for gamers without internet Microsoft’s Greenberg: E3 presentation will be “all about the games” All this and Listener Feedback.

[This episode is unedited, so be prepared for some naughty language.] This week has some stunning news items, causing an overstuffed, long episode, so big even Jordan’s wife chimes in, and Jonah and Paul argue hotly over the last item. The Gaming Flashback for this episode is Super Star Wars. This week’s huge news: EA gets exclusive license to publish Star Wars games, powered by Frostbite 3 engine Uplay causing problems with Steam version of Heroes VI expansion Shades of Darkness The Sims 4 officially announced by Electronic Arts Michael Biehn hints at Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon sequel Doritos Crash Course 2 coming May 9, still free Spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness hitting crowdfunding on May 6 Gearbox dismisses Aliens: Colonial Marines lawsuit as “beyond meritless” Also some listener feedback, plus this week’s Question: “What was your Golden Era of videogaming?”

The regular podcast is back, after the Dr. Who outtakes podcast last week. The show runs a little long but it’s full of insight and wonderfulness. Mostly. This week’s Gaming Flashback is the classic arcade motorcycle racer Hang-On. The podcast also has two week’s worth of news items, including: Next-gen Xbox formally being unveiled on 21st May in Redmond, WA Rumor: Next-gen Microsoft console will have DVR feature Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded out in June, “re-made, expanded and enhanced” BioShock Infinite, Xbox 360 lead March 2013 US sales according to NPD Nintendo bowing out of E3 Keynote Microsoft turned profit in fiscal 3rd quarter Batman: Arkham Origins inspired by Legends of the Dark Knight Plenty of Listener Feedback, but no Question of the Week – just ask us anything.
