A tired daughter (it's after bedtime). A busy dad (too much work). An excited friend (owner of a brand new PS4). That's the line-up for this week's episode of Video Game Generations, when Bill joins us to talk about his initial impressions of the Playstation 4 (as a long-time Xbox 360 user).

Early in the show, I talk about some recent additions to my video game collection, and a little about the high prices of rare NES cartridges. Bill and I talk about The Walking Dead and his recent interest in graphic novels and comics like the Fables series. In news, we talk about the new Xbox One dashboard and backwards compatibility, plus a reminder that Black Friday deals are just around the corner.

In our What We're Playing segment, Addie talks about Minecraft (PS4). We also share more opinions about The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS), which we tried again recently. After my pre-recorded segment (a wrap-up on Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair for Vita), Bill talks briefly about several games he finished since his last appearance on the podcast, including Thief (Xbox 360), Homefront (Xbox 360), Spec Ops: The Line (Xbox 360), Lara Croft Go (Mobile), and The Wolf Among Us (Xbox 360). Following that, we have a lengthy discussion about Fallout 4 (PS4). We talk about what we like and what we don't, what's changed since Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and various concerns about the game sent in by friend and long-time listener Pawel. We're still both relatively early in the game, so I'll probably have more to say in pre-recorded segments on future episodes.

Bill makes an exit before the episode is over, so Addie is left alone to guess the answer in this week's game of "Who Am I?" We have no new listener Question of the Week, but feel free to answer any of the prior weeks' questions, or just write in with anything you think would be interesting for us to read and discuss on the show.
