Episode 180: Final Fantasy
Thursday Apr 10, 2014
Thursday Apr 10, 2014
This week's podcast features the Gaming Flashback of Final Fantasy VI, which takes up a third of the podcast as Paul and Jordan enthuse about the Japanese roleplaying game at length - so much so, that some news items were skipped over due to running length. Jonah prepares for his trip to PAX East 2014 for the weekend. He also proclaims Emperor Palpatine dancing in Kinect Star Wars the best thing to ever happen for Star Wars.
This week's news includes:
Amazon says FireTV will boost mid-market games
Borderlands 2 Vita bundle hits on May 6, game launches May 13
Molyneux predicts Kinect-less Xbox One
Microsoft looking into Xbox 360 emulation through Xbox One
A lot of Listener Feedback this week, and the Question of the Week is “What mobile games have you played recently?”

Episode 179: Back Pains

Paul wasn't able to make it for this podcast thanks to a hospital trip due to back pains, but Jordan and Jonah get into it a little themselves. They also avoid the predictable April Fool's gags since even though the episode was recorded April 1, it wasn't going to air until 2 days later. This week's Gaming Flashback is Ubisoft's first person shooter Far Cry.
The news this week includes:
EA deletes nasty Wii U April Fools' tweets
Indies praise Xbox One self-publishing – but Microsoft must drop its launch parity policy
Uncharted 4 game director leaves Naughty Dog
Also included is Listener Feedback and the Question of the Week, “What was your favorite videogame-related April Fool’s joke?"
