This double stuffed episode makes up for last week’s week off, even without Paul in the podcast. The news covers the following items: Sony stops shipping PlayStation 2 in Japan WWE may not get $45M owed by THQ for license Asheron’s Call 2 returns They then covered the top stories of the year, which leads to the Question of the Week, “What was the biggest news item in 2012?”

This week’s Gaming Podcast is chock full of news and reader feedback.

The TD Gaming Podcast has started its Kickstarter fundraising, and really, even if every listener donated a few dollars, the project will get funded. This episode is a bit short thanks to Dan having to skip this week and Jordan and Paul’s busy schedules. Don’t worry, this is only a one time thing, and a full length podcast will be recorded next week. In any case, this week’s news includes: Avellone: Kickstarter still in its infancy PAX Australia tix now on sale CD Projekt RED’s new licensed sci-fi RPG officially titled Cyberpunk 2077 This week’s Question of the Week, “What is your favorite convention to attend?”

This week’s podcast was delayed when the original recording didn’t take and had to go with Dan Quick’s backup. Otherwise, the Gaming Flashback this week is the supremely weird Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu. The other news items include: Call of Duty: Elite for Black Ops 2 will be free Kickstarter comes to UK this Halloween Metro: Last Light dumping multiplayer Microsoft banning PEGI 18 apps from Windows 8 Store The Question of the Week is, “What was the game with the worst title you’ve ever played?”

In this long episode of Gaming Podcast, the show runs long because of the tons of entries made to win a Steam code of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Paul gets upset at Jonah for a topic about the Wii U, while Dan is delighted to say the F-word again. The latest Gaming Flashback is about the oldest coin-op arcade game from 1971, Galaxy Game.

Jordan Lund can’t make Episode 280, but fortunately, Paul S. Nowak makes his triumphant return, albeit pumped full of medication. Enjoy his drug-fueled babbling as he waxes poetic on the virtues of playing social networking games while high. He was lucid enough to discuss the following news items with the gang, however: Cryptic calls for new MMO review system BioWare Mythic “can’t make all Ultima fans happy” but hope they “enjoy nostalgia” PS3 version of Black Ops 2 includes optional hi-res texture install Wii U gamepad won’t be sold separately at launch Gaming Podcast is also running a new contest to win a free Steam code for the hotly anticipated XCOM: Enemy Unknown remake. All listeners have to do is answer the Question of the Week in the comments section, “What is your favorite game from the 1990′s?”

This week’s Gaming Podcast once again lacks Paul S. Nowak, which is a shame since the price for the Wii U has been released. Paul as the resident Nintendo representative would have been nice to have in the episode to give his views. This week’s podcast includes the following news items: Wii U priced at $300 for basic, $350 for deluxe Dragon Age III: Inquisition officially announced Obsidian unveils Kickstarter title Project Eternity, raise $1M in 24 hours Cliff Bleszinski wants to see “no disc based games” next-gen Guild Wars 2 surpasses 2 million units We also announce the winner of the Borderlands 2 contest. This week’s Question of the Week, “What game(s) have you been playing this week?”

This week’s episode has heated arguments between Jordan and Jonah, as this new podcast runs a little long. However, there are tons of news items to make up for the lack of a new show last week. The news items include: Bethesda’s Hines unexcited over next-gen console launch Borderlands 2‘s melee skill tree for Zer0 “thanks to them ignoring” Pitchford EA’s Gibeau brags he has not green-lit any single player games Valve responds to angry indie developers over $100 Steam Greenlight fee Crystal Dynamics: Lara Croft had become “unrelatable“ City of Heroes may be saved from shutdown Ron Gilbert blames point and click adventure stagnation on DOOM The contest continues – just mention what your favorite game from the 2000′s was – and a winner will be announced next week.
