This is it! Our final show for the foreseeable future! All the feels! Aaaagh!

We got six emails to read today, and they were all super sweet, we love you guys so much! Hopefully, we were able to brighten your day now and again, maybe even help out. One person even sent in an audio bite of what they had to say about the show. It was awesome. We cannot thank you guys enough for the love and support. Hopefully in the not too distant future, something will come forth once again. Until such time, we wish you all the very best.

Since the podcast itself is what is ending, it should be noted that the twitter account and email address WILL remain active. Isty will check it periodically to see if he can’t respond at least privately should anyone need help.

As for the show returning, it’s still a little wibbly wobbly up in the air, and with Furry Fiesta fast approaching, if it does return, it won’t be until AFTER the convention, meaning early March at the absolute earliest. And that is when the format will likely be changing as previously mentioned.

So, here’s to one hundred episodes, to many laughs shared, and to you guys for being awesome.

Never stop being awesome.

Irrational Games has just released a trailer for Burrial at Sea part 2. It features a view of everything from Elizabeth's eyes rather than Booker's, it also features the return of Atlas, who I'm sure you'll remember as the twist vilian from the original Bioshock. The trailer shows Elizabeth bargining for her life with Atlas, telling him she can "get him back to Rapture" [with the help of Booker]. We also see a little sister who Elizabeth wants to protect. But enough talk, let's watch the trailer shall we? And before you go, don't forget to share this on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+....Would you kindly?

Last week we reported that Nintendo was "studying" smartphones and tablets after they were disappointed by financial reports. Well according to a report by one of the largest newspapers in Japan, The Nikkei, their studies led them to conclude that the best way to use smart devices to their advantage is to make apps to market their console games and sharing information like videos, screenshots, and even going as far as to provide short demos on Android/iOS devices.

Reportedly, the thinking behind this is that it’ll give mobile only players a taste of Nintendo’s product without having to put games on non-Nintendo devices, hopefully converting them to Nintendo customers.
The Nikkei also reports that all Nintendo smartphone content will be completely free, and they have no plans for paid content on Android or iOS devices.

Now saying that this move is naive would be an understatement but we’ll have to wait and see if it works or not. What do you think about this move? Let us know by joining the discussion below.

It's no secret that I am a fan of the Assassin's Creed series, despite numerous critiques of it over the years. It is also no secret that I am concerned about the annualization of the series. This is why when Black Flag director Ashraf Ismail said, in a Eurogamer interview, that Ubisoft had “an idea of where the end is, what the end is,” I felt hopeful, especially after the stunning success of that game.

However, recent statements released by the writer of Assassin's Creed Revelations and Black Flag, Darby McDevitt, indicate that this might not be completely true. In an interview with Edge, he said “There's been a bit of confusion in that [Ismail] once said that Assassin's Creed has an ending – that's not exactly true. This storyline has an ending, but because all of history is open to us we see the universe as a Doctor Who type thing. There are so many possibilities we don't want to definitively end the universe, but we can have storylines that have endings.”

Continuing his remarks, “The end of the Desmond trilogy changed slightly, but was always intended to end that way. And then about two years ago we planned for another story... [However] we've moved on from specifically defining when a story will end.”

If I am being honest, I don't like this. I often have this problem with much American media, where they will keep a series alive until the point where not a single person likes the series any longer, then kill it off. It's like modern media corporations aren't aware of the concept of closure. I was afraid that the series would grow to be like this, and my fears have been realized. Do any of you guys have strong thoughts on the matter? Do you disagree with my own thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

I've always been interested in it but i don't know where to start. I'm open to all feedback.

 After sitting in the cold dark depths of my second hard drive, the first episode of Scrub League is finally upon us. What is Scrub League you might ask? Basically it's three of us who have no experience in MOBA games trying to actually win at MOBA games.
