Videogame Roundtable Episode 308: Sterling Reviews
This week's episode is 50% longer as the first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the reaction to Jim Sterling's explosive review of Hellblade and his subsequent recanting later that day. This week has no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but there are six news items to make up for it.
The items...

A Werewolf Remembers – The Testament of Lawrence Stewart Talbot
Larry Talbot, the most tragic of the movie star monsters of black and white film, the wolf man, entered my peripheral vision while co-hosting a radio show. I didn’t – at first - recognize the figure on the dust jacket …a figure which looked vaguely familiar, as did his name. To my surprise and delight, this was a totally...
Atari’s ‘PC Technology-based’ Ataribox Will Echo NES Classic
Videogame Roundtable Episode 305: Peggling Peggles. Last week's episode was torpedoed by audio issues (who knows, maybe they'll come back in a outtakes episode), so this week returns with half old news and half new news. The Gaming Flashback returns with a vengeance with the classic Popcap game Peggle -- which came out while Gaming Podcast debuted!

Guitar Gear Review: Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Allan Holdsworth Humbucker
As guitarists go, Allan Holdsworth is generally associated with Carvin (more so these days, Kiesel). And yes, Kiesel does offer 2 different sets of Holdsworth humbuckers. He is also known to have used DiMarzios (the original DP103 PAF, as near as I can tell). But I have an Allan Holdsworth humbucker from the Seymour Duncan company. So that’s what...

Where are all the Nintendo Switch Game Ports?

This week's episode includes:
Evil Genius 2 in development at Rebellion
Nobody can find the source code for Icewind Dale...
