Lots and lots of Apple news and speculation, including the possibility of an iPad Pro, Zynga being Zynga, Free to Play taking names and kicking buttocks, and lots of banter about app stores and ecosystems. Plus we sorta kinda lament the move from tinkerer/geek toy to everyday device our good friend the computer has taken in the last few years.
Even though we’re nominally a gaming podcast, the disastrous release of Final Cut Pro X deserved some attention…and Chip managed to wrangle things back to gaming with a comparison between the FCP X launch and Star Wars: Galaxies debacle of many moons ago. Also, Marathon is coming to iOS, the iPhone 5 is apparently Apple’s first step to world gaming domination, and the United States Supreme Court has just ruled games are a form of expression and thus subject to free speech protection. Heady stuff. Enjoy!
A Chip-less podcast this week, but Todd and Warren are in the same room at the same time. Will wonders never cease? Probably not. They covered the shrinking length of games, the abysmal Blackberry Playbook launch, Portal 2, Final Cut, an Apple television, and a surfeit of other exciting game related news. Excitement! Cats! Echoes!
