What would be your ideal Star Wars game?
This was written in lieu of the trailers of both the new Battlefront game and Episode 7. Also, I need to make clear that Star Wars is not a franchise that appeals to me, so if my opinions are seen as heretical to fans, it’s not something I can help. This is in regards to both the movie and game discussions.

Skyrim allowed paid mods on Steam.
For the record, we recorded this podcast on Sunday. By the time of this writing, paid Skyrim mods have been removed. So I kinda have to put my foot in my mouth regards to the apocalyptic tone expressed during this segment. Still, I stand behind the opinions expressed on this subject. It’s a well-meaning idea, but Valve didn’t really think too much about what the implications were behind such a massive, overnight change.

As someone who follows John Green online, I really need to start reading his books. They seem like they’d be right up my alley.
1:09:40 Sam played portable games (while selling furniture)
In particular, he played Muramasa: Rebirth, Persona Q, and Crimson Shroud.
It’s nice to hear Sam make similar criticisms that I made when I played Persona Q. I even wrote an article about it way back when.
1:21:00 Sam got into Monster Hunter and God Eater: Burst
As our resident Dark Souls player, I’m not really surprised these games would interest him.
1:34:50 I finished Pillars of Eternity.
It’s like Baldur’s Gate 2, but without all of the stuff that makes me hate Baldur’s Gate 2.
1:46:00 I watched Dollhouse by Joss Whedon
It’s a darkly interesting series. Though only 2 seasons long, it did more than many other shows have managed in 5 seasons.
1:50:00 Sam, Chris, one of my friends, and I played Insomniac Game’s FUSE
Dear god, that game. We’re going to keep going, but it’s going to be painful.
2:09:00 Chris played more South Park: The Stick of Truth
