Podcast Episode 40 part 1

Legendary Battle of the Legendary Legends

Tonight we continue with our new format. We read Chance's email and we go through the week's news in the news dump. We will continue with the new format until we either get bored or decide to do something else. We did get a little feedback on the new format. It was mostly positive, so there you go.

In his abbreviated email Chance, has several things to say after we give him his weekly snarkectomy. He sides with us on the Wonder Woman/Ironman fight. He brings up some excellent Xbox games, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. Both games have excellent stories and are quite enjoyable. He brings up that you can buy used copies of games for only a few dollars more than is being charged to rent them on the Playstation Now. He says that he is disappointed with Titanfall and says that paying a $1 to get kicked in the nuts is preferable to paying for Mech Assault Online. He also gets us back on the VR helmet discussion. Both Sony and Valve are working on VR helmets. With all the development, we still don't think that VR headsets are going to be mainstream for a while.

On the news dump tonight we talk about the controller for Amazon's theoretical console. We talked about the NSA spying on everyone. We talked about how Stalin would have endorsed the Xbone and then kept a PS4 at home. Nvideo stopping support of DirectX 10. The Xbone controller works on PC. The Last of Us won 5 baftas. Epic and Mozilla demo Unreal Engine 4 running in Firefox, rather exciting gaming news. Chinese gaming console in the works. 22 year old Chimp plays better than kindergartners, and more.

That is the podcast for tonight. Let us know what you think and tune in midway through next week to get part 2.
