Videogame Roundtable episodes

  • Episode 309: A Man Chooses

    The Gaming Podcast is back after a week off, and it celebrates the 10th year anniversary of BioShock with its own Gaming Flashback. They also touch on its sequels, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite. It's not all BioShock, however, as the following news items are discussed:


    • Bethesda Game Of Thrones project potentially leaked

  • PUBG becomes the biggest game on Steam

  • $200 price cut brings HTC Vive down to $599

  • Thimbleweed Park’s arcade is now open

    • Let us know if you enjoyed any of the BioShock games.

  • Episode 308: Sterling Reviews

    This week's episode is 50% longer as the first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the reaction to Jim Sterling's explosive review of Hellblade and his subsequent recanting later that day. This week has no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but there are six news items to make up for it. The items include:


    • EA talks about Nintendo Switch support

  • Rainbow Six: Siege "Operation Blood Orchid" update launches August 29

  • Myth-inspired RTS Deadhold charges into Early Access later this month

  • No Man's Sky "Atlas Rises" update adds story content and "limited" online co-op

  • EA says Star Wars: Battlefront "lacked long-term goals”

  • Moons of Madness is Lovecraftian horror on Mars

    • Let us know what you think.

    1 hr 32 min
  • Episode 307: That Splat Ain’t Mayo

    This week's episode not only has a Gaming Flashback, but a Gaming History as well. The Flashback looks at the hardware intensive PC game Crysis, while the Gaming History looks at one of the bigger crowdfunding fiascos, Starforge. Jonah also reminds viewers that the "mayo" in the Splatfest for Splatoon 2 probably wasn't actually mayo. This week's news items include:


    • Lexington video game company sues after personal information posted online

  • New game combines monster taming and Stardew Valley

  • Respawn: "We're doing more Titanfall"

  • Destiny 2 will not offer customization of imported characters

    • Question of the Week: "What two games would you like to see combined?"

    1 hr 16 min
  • Episode 306: Jonah Bashes Zelda, Gets Snarked

    This week's episode features Jonah being seriously critical of the Zelda series and getting the aghast reactions from his co-hosts (and probably the internet at large). The crew also discusses games on laptops and dreaming about the games they'd played. There's another Gaming Flashback this week, 2007's Game of the Year, Yaris. This week's news includes:


    • Night Trap 25th Anniversary Edition to haunt PS4 and PC players in August

  • Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy spotted with Xbox One controls

  • Dragon Quest XI coming West next year

  • Assassin's Creed Origins director says game won't be on Nintendo Switch

    • The Question of the Week: "What game do you play most on your laptop?"

    53 min
  • Episode 305: Peggling Peggles

    Last week's episode was torpedoed by audio issues (who knows, maybe they'll come back in a outtakes episode), so this week returns with half old news and half new news. The Gaming Flashback returns with a vengeance with the classic Popcap game Peggle -- which came out while Gaming Podcast debuted! This week's new/old news includes:

    Atari's 'PC technology-based' Ataribox will echo NES Classic, crowdfunding campaign coming
    PC release of Classic action-RPG Ys Seven announced
    Possible Xbox One X wireless module passes through FCC
    New trademark sparks rumours of ‘Nintendo 64 Classic’ console release

    Also, there's a Question of the Week -- listen in and let us know what you think.
    1 hr 5 min
  • Episode 304: Nintendo’s Lawyers

    Nintendo is the main focus of this week's episode, but we can't discuss the company too much or they'll sic their lawyers on the podcast. Other than that, there's plenty of safe things to discuss. This week's episode includes:


    Evil Genius 2 in development at Rebellion
    Nobody can find the source code for Icewind Dale II


    Breath of the Wild players will learn more about Zelda in The Champions’ Ballad DLC
    Where are all the Nintendo Switch game ports?

    Also, learn about who won the contest, which was decided by the roll of a die.
    1 hr 3 min
  • Episode 303: The Sims 4 Contest Part 2

    The The Sims 4 contest is still going on this week, with the winner to be announced in Episode 471. The crew gets back to discussing news, but as is usual, it's a light week in July. This week's news items include:


    Starcraft Remastered is coming in August in 4K

    Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot boxes spark pay-to-win fears
    Only main player will progress in Far Cry 5 story

    Destiny 2's getting rid of random perk rolls for loot and the response is divided
    Nintendo Switch Virtual Console will be the only way you can play certain Super Mario games

    Again, The Sims 4 Contest is only eligible for US entrants.
    1 hr 2 min
  • Episode 302: The Sims 4 Code Giveaway

    It's Contest Time, as Gaming Podcast is giving away a swag bag that includes The Sims 4 and some videogame merch from E3. Most of the 87 minute podcast deals with more E3 talk, and 5 minutes spend on news items. This week's news includes:

    Everything known about the Ataribox so far

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered standalone release confirmed

    Gigantic launching in July, escapes Windows 10

    Let us know what you thought of E3 this week in the comments.
    1 hr 28 min
  • Episode 301: E3 2017 Recap

    Look, we're back, and as promised, the new podcast is now up and recorded on the final day of E3 in Devolver Digital's off-site space. Jonah and T.J. hang out near the Fable Fortune booth as they discuss the games they scoped out on the show floor. If T.J. seems a lot more chill than usual, keep in mind he's enjoyed a few beers by then.
    Next week will see Scott joining in with his impressions of the conference from afar.
    54 min
  • Episode 300: Reunion Extravaganza

    The landmark 300th episode was recorded two weeks ago, but the audio was absolutely terrible, with over a half-an-hour having to be excised. It's a pity, because it featured both Videogame Roundtable originals Paul Nowak and Jordan Lund guest-hosting for a massive (for this podcast) five-man crew.
    To make up for it, Jonah and T.J. recorded a half-hour discussion of upcoming games that they might check out at E3.
    There won't be a podcast for another 3 weeks, until E3 is over, so for now. Enjoy the podcast, and sorry for the middle hour -- the audio cleans up in the last part.
