We catch up on some of the big news stories in the gaming world this week in lieu of our original idea for a show.

Developer/Publisher LucasArts was unceremoniously shut down after being acquired by Disney, so the Athletes pay homage to some of the better LucasArts games.

This week the Athletes recap a previously streamed multiplayer matchup of a classic RTS they all enjoyed in the past as offering their thoughts on the remake.

At a listener's request the Athletes talk about classic games they want to see remade, and in what way.

This episode contains SPOILERS!!! on the ending of BioShock Infinite, so only listen if you've finished the game or don't care about having it spoiled for you!

The new BioShock Infinite is unanimously well recieved by critics throughout the gaming community, so find out the the Athletes thought of it in this week's episode of the Thumbstick Athletes podcast.

We're hopefully getting back on track with the hangover episodes in discussing the upcoming BioShock Infinite.  Full episode on it later this week. 

In this week's podcast, the Athletes all have a different topic from the gaming world to discuss.  Will wonders what he should do about Sim City, Eric wonders which game he should play next, Dan wonders if $70 games are worth it, and Corey talks about the resignation of EA's CEO.

For this week's episode, we do a rundown of some of the iconic controllers from gaming's past all the way up to the current generation.  (and even talk briefly about the next gen controller we know about)

The episode title says it all.  Tomb Raider and Sim City are the topics of discussion this week, as well as the hot topic of the week....the dreaded always online DRM.
