Damn I must have just missed this Bombcast (a relatively early one at that) on the way out the door. Will have to wait till tomorrow I guess.

EDIT - Obviously a sequel to ZombiU will be Zombi 2U with the font designed in such a way as to merge the 2 and U. Alternatively, 2ombiU, but not nearly as elegant.

All of this network stuff is a nightmare but atleast the Wii let you play your VC games if you didn't have a connection unlike Live which let's you play the trial of XBLA games if you're not connected. I've always had trouble when it came to online identity / account stuff. Wish it was simpler like the Quake III days.

You can play XBLA games offline if you're playing it on the console that it's licensed to. If you bought a new Xbox or something, then you need to use the license transfer utility on their website to transfer your licenses to your new Xbox.

i think the crew are being way too critical about the wii u and nintendo land specifically. i agree with some of the stuff they've said, but that system is crazy fun. the miiverse is pretty awesome, but nintendo land is amazing. i watched all those videos on sunday and thought it was kind of a bummer, but actually playing it is completely different.

Valve could run a remarkably successful business just running other company's digital storefronts. Steam is the golden standard of digital distribution platforms.

^ Fuck that license bullshit, the dude has a point, XBLA can be a nightmare, the game is yours, it should be available offline no matter what console you play on

well this nintendo account management sounds a little complex, so there's 3 systems and if yo-OH NO I'VE GONE CROSS-EYED.

seriously though- hearing them walk vinny through it, it sounds ridiculous.

I've always heard that the issue with brining a turkey is that the gravy from the bird is too salty to use. And I don't want to live in a world without gravy. Lack of gravy is what keeps me away from most of the more unusual turkey cooking methods like deep frying and smoking. I know you could make separate gravy, but that feels like cheating.

PS3 was not limited. If you waited a week you were fine with just walking in a store and grabbing one.

This is me glancing past my monitor as I listen to the Bombcast:

That's a Wavebird in close proximity to two. TWO GameCubes. Also the one in front has a Game Boy Player, what were you saying about handheld games on a TV Brad?
