Episode 234: Intentionally Late

This week's episode was deliberately delayed because there will be a new day we record: Friday, which means the podcasts will be released on Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, the Dr. Who episode preceding this gave us a little space, and now this podcast will be setting the stage for future episodes.
This week's news includes:
Rumor: Caveman game teased by Ubisoft leaked as Far Cry Primal
Steam Sections coming to major videogame retailers this November
Sony: "Climate is not healthy" for a new PlayStation handheld
LEGO Dimensions outsells Skylanders Superchargers and Disney Infinity 3.0
Fan turns to the crowd for Pokemon PAX party settlement

Dr. Who Special Episode #4

It's about time for something completely different, as we are posting the fourth Dr. Who episode, with Scott Dirk co-hosting for the first time, Jennifer Lund making a long-awaited return, and a very special guest. Jonah Falcon ducks out because, well, he's not a Whovian.Episode 401 will be coming tomorrow.

Episode 233: So Long, Paul

Well, the fateful day has come on this landmark podcast, as Paul says farewell as a regular podcast host. We can all look back at Jonah's debut in episode 200, with the knowledge that the next episode will make him the longest running host or co-host on the show - and that's just scary. A former host leaves a message as well.

Episode 232: On the Precipice

Only one more episode til the landmark episode that will see Paul ending his tenure as a regular podcast host in this lengthy episode after the week off. The banter is so off the charts, over an hour had to be cut and will be available in a future outtakes episode - as Paul and Scott agree to do a special Dr. Who episode in the near future too. Oh, and Jonah lost his day job.
