if next-gen consoles were game of thrones characters

Really liking Little Big Planet Karting. It's by no means the best karting game out there, but it's a great way to blow 30-45 minutes when I'm not feeling in the mood to get heavily involved in a game.

I've been dying to play it. I bought it a while back. I'd like to get a racing night together.

I started Psychonauts for the fourth or fifth time. I'm going to do everything I can to actually see it through to the end and not get sidetracked like I have the other times.

Want to do another Game Night.

PSASBR, UC3 (the free version of the MP), The Last of Us and... BF3 for choices.

Problem is, I need an 360 side for it too so nobody on console is left out.

If I say it's for tomorrow, it's gotta be before/during/after Game 5; otherwise, there's Weds. through the Weekend to consider.

Who'd like to help?

I'd be down for a night for The Last of Us. I'd rather it be a little later in the week though, like Wednesday or Thursday. Well hell, really I'd be in for any one of those, but TLoU is my choice.

Patrick Klepick will no longer be on the Giant Bombcast...:tyrone:

I want to know who (if anyone) is going to replace him. Hopefully, he'll be able to follow through and focus completely on breaking stories (like today's Xbox one) once he gets settled in Chicago.

 

[SethMode]

I warmed up to Klepek, at the very least because he's the only one of those fuckers that plays games anymore. Vinny doesn't have time, Brad is hooked on DOTA, Jeff plays the most random shit (PSO2 again?), and I'm not sure what the fuck Ryan even does at GB anymore, because he sure as shit doesn't play games. Patrick would try new stuff and more indie stuff, and was always willing to give it a fair shake.

That being said, man, he is the king of just speaking in HUGE generalizations.

 

[Twigg4075]

Where's he going? Was it his decision or did he get the ax?

 

[SethMode]

Where's he going?

Not leaving GB, just the Bombcast/QL. Going to be doing more written reporting because he's moving back home to the Chicago area. Similar to Navarro in NY.

Which is another plus too I'd say. I always liked his written stuff more than his spoken stuff. Although his solo videos aren't bad, even if his hipsterness rears its head too often (he drinks a lot of PBR).

 

[jms493]

He is ok,...but I dont think he added that much to the podcast. He certainly doesnt make me laugh.

Arguing over video games makes you turn homosexual?

Microsoft's Xbox 360 entertainment console remains the top-selling gaming console in the United States for yet another month, marking 29 consecutive months of success for the company. This trend of dominance continues over the console's main competitors, the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3. With the announcement of a new Xbox 360 E, Microsoft hopes to continue this trend.

Microsoft has revealed today that the Xbox 360 has continued to dominate in the console arena. Total retail spending on the Xbox 360 for the month of May reached $149.8 million dollars in hardware, software, and accessory sales. This was the most for any console in the United States. The Xbox 360 also held seven of the top ten console game titles, including “Dead Island: Riptide,” “Injustice: Gods Among Us,” “Metro: Last Light,” NBA 2K13,” Call of Duty: Black Ops II,” “BioShock Infinite” and “Halo 4.”

Meanwhile the PS3 is absolutely stomping the 360 in every country outside of the United States.
