Videogame Roundtable

It's the last episode before the start of E3, which both Jonah and Paul will be attending, as Paul fantasizes about having some fancy footwear for the conference.
The abbreviated episode includes the following news:
The $100 headset uses controversial electric shocks to make you a better gamer
Oculus unveils final model of the Rift, due early 2016
Xbox One exclusives Crackdown, Scalebound and Quantum Break will skip E3 for Gamescom
Question of the Week this time is, "Do you prefer a silent or voiced protagonist?"

This podcast was recorded on short notice, so it's on the short side. It's also a little dated, since the Fallout 4 news was going to be announced the next day at the recording, and the publishing is a day after it's official reveal. There's an actual Gaming Flashback this week, with Destroy All Humans!, which shockingly Paul never played.
The news in this podcast includes:
Indie dev discusses where the money goes
Fallout 4 announcement coming June 3
New Steam refunds policy makes some devs concerned
All this and Listener Feeedback.

Another late podcast, as Summer is in sight, and E3 looms ahead. Some minor audio issues with the podcast, but still the same podcast-y goodness we can expect from Paul and Jonah.
The news includes:
Analysts: "Greed, fear, and the potential to change the world" will drive VR
Casey Hudson joins Microsoft
Humble Bundle debuts Wii games
World of Warcraft players are pissed their characters can’t fly
Final Fantasy 15 news coming next week
All that and Listener Feedback.

This podcast marks the beginning of the end of Paul's tenure as a regular co-host, as he will be leaving at the milestone episode 400. He and Jonah both bemoan the loss of last week's taping, as it had laughter, tears, outrage and a long comic book conversation, but this episode more than makes up for it with items that make Paul squee.
The news includes:
Portal, Doctor Who, The Simpsons and more confirmed for Lego Dimensions
Report: Xbox One 60fps game DVR capture goes live
Nintendo partners with Universal Parks to create themed rides and attractions
Microsoft teases big Rare reveal at E3
All this and some nifty Listener Feedback.

This week's episode has bad audio, but at least it's short, due to Jonah's lingering laryngitis. Paul insists Homestar Runner hasn't been good in 15 years, while Jonah talks about the NES classic bomb Athena.
This week's news includes:
Nintendo Virtual Store to start selling N64 and DS games
Tim Schafer recommends Broken Age players start over from the beginning
Silent Hills is officially dead
All this and Listener Feedback.

Jonah and Paul send a brief missive about the current state of the podcast.

This episode was recorded on short notice thanks to last week's late posting, so the Listener Feedback that responded to 382 couldn't make it here. Paul and Jonah discuss some board games with remarkably similar themes they played in the past few days. Paul also waits for his compensation for The Sims Freeplay.
The news of the week includes:
Microsoft discontinues Kinect for Windows
Microsoft says open source Windows is "definitely possible"
OnLive shuts down streaming games service, sells patents to Sony
Mario Maker gets release date
No Listener Feedback this week, so the Question of the Week remains the same: "What do you think the future is for old games?"

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this episode was recorded on Monday, but despite the lateness, it's full of rich news items, including some very disturbing trends in videogames, as well as a question by a listener that got mental juices flowing. This week's Gaming Flashback is Professor Pac-Man.
The news items include:
Headteachers in UK threaten to report parents who let their children play 18-rated games
Star Citizen's Vanguard "concept" fighter costs a cool $250
PC version of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round launches on Steam without key features
Zelda delay could ruin Nintendo's 2015
New Jersey game store "swatting" takes an uglier turn
This week's Question of the Week: "What do you think is the future of older games?"
