This week, the Oddcast substitutes one Scott for another — Weber is in for Sharkey.
In odd news, Activision will be combating the used-games market… somehow. EA are fighting internal competition (and the used-games market) by releasing both their NBA games — Elite and Jam — together on PS3 and 360. Blizzard are battling obscenity by deleting StarCraft 2 maps.
Just as I run out of synonyms for “fight”, they touch upon Privates — the free sex-ed shooter. Tina also mentions Five Minutes to Kill Yourself Wedding Day.
In the 1UP community, a user has compiled a list of the net profits of movies based on games. A raid on a World of Warcraft sex club quickly kicks the conversation into the gutter before they answer emails. Emailers ask about why they got into games writing, awkward game situations (most of which involve Second Life), and game tattoos.
Covered topics: Activision, NBA Jam, StarCraft 2, Privates, Five Minutes to Kill Yourself Wedding Day, game movies, World of Warcraft.
Sex! We “tee hee” a lot when it comes up. On this week’s OddNews, we talk about Ratchet and Clank, Blizzard removing inappropriate maps in StarCraft II, and Activision making a move on hindering used game sales. Recession gaming involves the shooter in your pants, a.k.a. Privates. And we tangent off into a talk about cyber sex in World of Warcraft. With Scott Sharkey gone this week, we fill his place with another Scott from the office.
