Vidjagame Apocalypse

Returning to business as usual after last week's three-hour explodaganza, we're kicking this week's show off with a look at five movie-to-game adaptations that, for whatever reason, only ever appeared on PSP. Then it's on to some talk about Dragonball Xenoverse and Way of the Samurai 4, news of Kanye dabbling in game design, and answers to the questions you wanted to ask us.

EPISODE 100 IS HERE AT LAST! To congratulate ourselves for actually sticking with a project for this long, we start with a Top 5 in which Chris tries to justify buying a New Nintendo 3DS immediately after dismissing it,  switch to a brief rundown of this week's new releases, and then begin a nearly THREE-HOUR TOP 100 wherein we try to figure out the context behind all our Secret Sounds. This is our least game-focused show ever, but it's also our filthiest, with lots of sometimes-funny behind-the-scenes bits that you've only heard if you listened to all our shows to the end.

With the exception of maybe Rambo, it's difficult to think of any characters who've been ripped off as frequently as Indiana Jones. (Granted, you could argue Dr. Jones is himself a ripoff, but that's beside the point.) With rumors of a film reboot on the rise, we devote this week to the ersatz Indys who've been whipping their way through games since the '80s. Then it's on to chat about Evolve, the pros and (mostly) cons of a Netflix Zelda series, and the comedy sketches you'd like to turn into games.

Not a lot of comedy sketches get their own video games, and after hearing about the mostly terrible entries in this week's Top 5, you'll understand why. With that safely out of the way, it's on to some chatter about #IDARB and Game of Thrones, SOE transitioning to Daybreak, and the mythologies you'd like to adapt into games.
