GameHounds Episode 7: Bullys, Bugs and Bumps

We know you wanted longer than usual for this episode, but it was so worth the wait.On Episode 7 of GameHounds, Hawkes and Edie pile on topics, one after another. Hey, it was a big week in gaming, so let’s not dilly-dally with the window dressing. On with the show!!Starting off, Hawkes fills us in (pun intended) on exactly what comes between him and his Calvin Kleins (Eighty’s joke alert!)Then we hit on the tip-top topics of the last week, including:We

• The passing of Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons. What can we say about this maverick that hasn’t already been said. You might even call him the great-grandad of video games. We’ll miss you, Gary.
• Apple announces the release of the Software Developer’s Kit for the iPhone and iPod Touch and $100 million in venture capital funds for developers. Will the iPhone be the next major portable gaming console?
• Another patent surfaces for the PSPhone. No, no, a thousand times no.
• Phil Harrison finds a new home at Infogrames. Yes, that’s French for Atari.
• Rockstar piddles itself in grief over bugs in Bully: Scholarship Edition for the 360. Makes you realize how they make GTA look easy.
• Rumor: Microsoft in talks with Sony to create a Bly-Ray drive for the 360. In other news, poop stinks! Film at 11.
• Rumor: Microsoft will discontinue the 20GB XBox 360 in favor of 60GB version. How do you kill that which already has no life?
• Turning Point: Fall of Liberty isn’t a bad game, you see. It’s because you don’t know a good game. UR Stopidz Gamrz, lawl.
• New Brit controller replaces rumble with electoshock. What won’t you loony Brits do!?!
• Huxley is back! Plan for it at the end of the year on PC and six months later on 360. Seriously. I’d stake your entire Christmas on it. Really. Stop laughing.
• Saints Row 2 developers apologize in advance about the bugs. The guy who wrote the musical is tuning his piano as we speak.
