  • A gaming podcast should be about gaming!

    They should just change their podcast from a video game show to a left-wing discussion podcast.

  • Ugh. Braindead Politics

    I always forget how stupid these guys are every time they turn their attention to anything political. Truly low-information people. NPCs, if you will.

675: Nick Limon: Bioware closed, Mass Effect canceled, Steam Next Fest, Project Helix price points, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, Gears of War E-Day, Castlevania Belmont's Curse, Chained Beasts
Q: Do you think a Microsoft console or any console at that point can survive it at a base price of $1,200 to $1,800?
Nick says enthusiasts may buy it, especially amid hardware shortages, and sees Project Helix as a PC-console hybrid. He expects high component costs to make expensive gaming devices increasingly common.

Q: Nick, did you have a particular affinity for BioWare? Is this something that hits as personally for you?
Nick says BioWare's influence spans beloved games such as Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Jade Empire, and Baldur's Gate, and that the studio helped bring story-driven PC role-playing games to consoles.
674: Jordan Epstein & Kahlief Adams: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Legislation To Protect Video Game Ownership, GTA 6 Launch Trailer, Xbox Labs
Q: Was there anything that kind of stood out to you that you didn't expect to see, but also that's pretty cool, or maybe you're a little disappointed?
Jordan Epstein says he is especially interested in the relationship mechanics and life-simulation elements, which could give players meaningful activities beyond the game's linear missions.

Q: I'm curious your thoughts on the digital ownership idea and then maybe where this Power to the Players Act might go.
Kahlief Adams says digital ownership is an appealing issue for players, but questions whether it can gain political momentum and whether lawmakers and gaming advocates can build a credible coalition to advance it.
673: Phillipe Bosher & Lana Bachynski: STAR WARS: Galactic Racer, Arc Raiders - Frozen Trail, PAX Australia, Triple-I Initiative, Xbox introduces XP, Cyberpunk 2077 movie
Q: What makes these gaming events so special?
Lana and Christian say the appeal is the shared event experience: meeting other fans, seeing developers and trying games in person. Christian adds that playing something early and being part of a fandom can be exciting.
