Game Nutz Podcast

With a less-than-ideal microphone (for once, Boter is louder than Claw!), Boter and Claw talk about Activision related-topics, with more leaving Infinity Ward, more suits against Activision, and a surprising announcement by Bungie of working with the world's biggest game publisher. They then talk a bit about Ubisoft, Nintendo, and Apple, and then discuss the hidden gem of a game called Beat Hazard.

Music is nothing. Hopefully mime musicians won't sue us.

The hosts talk about April Fool's day, Green Day Rock Band, Infinity Ward and the PS3 in this half-length edition of the Game Nutz Podcast. Hopefully regular recording and editing schedules will resume soon.

Yes, the joke was drawn out for two weeks due to skipping a week for the podcast then late editing. This officially makes us lame.

Note to Claw: The mic pics up your voice the easiest. Move away from it. I'm not balancing this, and the automatic filter can only do so well.
