Episode Summary

Ever seen a grizzly bear take two attractive receptionists up to a penthouse hotel room with a pot of honey? Calum has, and he got a point of insanity because of it. On this episode... We Played... Euan finds Calum just chillin' in Dust: An Elysian Tale, breaks and then rejoins the F2P mechanics of Warframe, and prepares to be destroyed by the internet in Dead Nation: Apocalypse Calum dives into Risk of Rain, cultivates a village in Banished, and finds out that Diablo 3 is actually a really good game now that it's fixed. The continuing story of Calum's pen and paper adventures takes interesting bear and (literal) arse-kicking turns. I would listen to that if it was it's own podcast... In News... Threes hits Android. Go get it. Murdered: Soul Suspect (June 6), 999 for iOS (March 17) and Persona 5 (2015) all get dated The new Batman game from Rocksteady is announced as next gen only for 2014 SquareEnix play good guy publisher and are pretty candid about Thief review scores. South Park shows that even if your game gets cencored, you can still be really funny about it. Nintendo shuts down Wii and DS online services on May 20th. Time to upgrade if you want to keep playing Mario Kart. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros gets a price cut on next gen, and makes the pricing structure even more complicated.
