Tina starts the cast with talk of her visit to Pixar and the recent user blog on 1UP that called for her to be fired. Halo Reach gets a little time before the group moves on to word that Gears of War will run at only 30fps.
Word that total DS sales have already surpassed lifetime GameBoy sales in about a quarter of the time kicks-off the news. James Silva has “sold out,” with his next game going straight to XBLA– in 2012. And, there are even more updates to the Respawn/Activision situation.
In Recession Gaming, the group talks about the recent pay-what-you-want Humble Indie Game Bundle that is available for 4 more days. Tons of emails and voicemails close the show with some diverse discussion topics.
Covered games and topics: Pixar visit, fire Tina blog, Halo Reach, Gears of War 3, DS sales pass GameBoy, Charlie Murder goes XBLA, Respawn Entertainment, Recession Gaming, Xbox labor in China, emails/voicemails
What? We’re on time? That’s new. Our buddy that we keep down the well escaped this week, so we have Frank as a temporary replacement. The news is filled with good comments from users, except those dudes who think 30 frames per second equates to being slow as hell. Tina’s thrilled about Stephen Hawking comments, Sam likes the PSP Go, and Sharkey asks us all to buy indie games for a good cause. And then we finish off with our call-in questions.
