It’s that time of the week. As the Ides of July roll toward the Ides of August, it’s time for us to don our togas and get into a bacchanalia of gaming news.

Our esteemed Holius Goalius, Nickus Dinicolus, and Ginger Bitchus Maximus bring you the news this week, including:

• Driver: San Francisco for the PC will require a constant internet connection.
• Harmonix is giving away 3,000 songs to celebrate its 3,000th song.
• Bioware is letting fans pick the look of FemShep.
• Popcap makes a 10-year-old’s wish come true.
• The Entertainment Software Association wants $1.1 million from the State of California.
• WalMart teams up with Vudu for movie streaming.
• Roku boxes are getting Angry Birds.

Enjoyus.

By the way, Holy Goalie has a vewy good fwend in Wome named Bigus Dickus.

Hey, we got a full house this week.

After a week with only two of three hosts, it’s nice to have everyone back in their assigned seats and ready for some book-learnin’.

Nick Dinicola, Holy Goalie and Edie Sellers are thwarted slightly by the lack of gaming news, so this show has that lazy summer feel. They do end up finding a suprising amount to chat up, though, including:

• It seems to be real: Suda 51′s Lollypop Chainsaw.
• Bioware says that despite all the critical acclaim, Fem Shep isn’t as popular as you might think.
• NPD says Shadows of the Damned and Child of Eden didn’t do so well, but LA Noire and Duke Nukem Forever did.
• We revive Random Shit, because let’s face it, this week is pretty random.
• Emails, puppy names, and other stuff.

Enjoy.

Finally, we’re back to normal.

Well, almost normal. This week, we’re a two-man show with GamerEdie Sellers and Nick Dinicola holding down the fort, as Holy Goalie fixes his broken computer.

In this week’s show, topics include:

• Nintendo brings 3D movies to the 3DS.
• The West-Zampella vs. Activision case looks like it’s going to trial.
• More reports of ruthless working conditions surface about Team Bondi.
• Get ready for… The Space Invaders movie.

Enjoy.

“You run and you run to catch up with a sun that’s sinking, racing around to come up behind you again.”

Yup. That’s been our week. Sorry this episode is hitting you on a Wednesday. Have not had a spare second.

In short, here’s the topics:

• The Supreme Court sides with gaming. Huzzah!
• Nintendo Wii U will support 3-D, but the company won’t.
• Nyko announces a peripheral to let you reduce the Kinect’s need for space.
• Netflix expands streaming options.
• We suggest you rethink sending that resume to Team Bondi.

Enjoy!
