3. All Singled Out

This week, Eric, Joel and Dave indulge in more nerdy self-loathing as both Victoria and Lisa are away. Also, they talk about XCOM:Enemy Unknown, God of War Saga, and (about time) Borderlands 2. After the break, the guys discuss the resurgence of single player games in the industry, fueled by kickstarter and the independent scene. They also respond somewhat to Blizzard's Chief Creative Officer Rob Pardo's statement that single player games are an endangered species. Also cue memories of old multiplayer game experiences. Not to be missed: see if you can pick out more singing by Joel, Eric talks about self-consciously playing God of War in his living room, and Dave's XCOM squaddies are named 'Adrian Pang' and 'Beyonce Knowles' Send questions and comments to [email protected]! If we have enough coffee, we might read it out.
