The usual crew kicks off this festive week with their respective plans for Thanksgiving as well as some stomach-wrenching recipe ideas. A fairly long (and semi-spoiler-filled) discussion on Vinny and Jeff’s fun experiences with Assassin’s Creed II somehow leads into Jeff’s anger about Tony Hawk RIDE and plastic peripherals in general. Brad fully intended on playing Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend, but ended up playing a long string of smaller games which he slightly regrets, but does share about his time with Zelda: Spirit Tracks.  Ryan caps off the segment with his disappointment with Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles.

News starts off with the big story of the week, the EA layoffs which included the closing of Pandemic Studios. Brad Pitt’s production company optioning the movie rights to Dark Void leads down another rabbit hole involving Jamie Kennedy, Uwe Boll, and James Cameron’s Avatar. The recent World of Warcraft fifth anniversary leads to a surprisingly long conversation between four non-Warcraft gamers.

Sparse new releases and emails finish out the show.
