Ask away, m’kay [Update:So you might have noticed we didn’t have a show this week. Well, long story short, food poisoning. Very,verybad food poisoning. So we’re moving community questions to this week’s show and giving you another chance to ask us what’s on your mind.] What a busy week for video games. Big releases, big announcements, and big reviews capped off an interesting and certainly memorable October. Now there are just one or two more big releases left in 2019....

But where’s Vulture? A selection of cool new screenshots have been released by Insomniac Games for their anticipated newSpider-Mantitle. The screens, which appeared inThe Daily BugleThe Telegraph, show of some of the rogues awaiting the web-slinger in his new adventure. We get to see Shocker, clad in badass-looking body-armour, and a somewhat Trump-looking Norman Osborn, in the relatively sane state he occupies before donning his baggy nightcap as his villainous alter-ego, The Green Goblin....

Tries to play its usual ‘long-term’ card Sony chief executive Kaz Hirai has admitted thePlayStation Vitais not performing as expected. However, he has deployed Sony’s usual get-out, claiming they’d rather be judged on speculative success rather than, y’know,realsuccess. Hirai spoke about the Vita at a media reception following his CES presentation, where he confessed the Vita was selling“low end of what we expected.” He then claimed it was too early to write the handheld off just yet, suggesting it would take five to ten years to determine whether or not the Vita had failed....

Clearly too much Fire Emblem music Since the official website forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateopened up after E3, Nintendo has revealed a new music track every Tuesday, and today was no exception. The new song uploaded for everyone to sample was an arrangement of “Gear Up For…” from the spinoff mobile titleFire Emblem Heroes.

What’s the catch? She’s as small as a doll, and it’s up to us to help her. Discovering this predicament begins the Teeny, Tiny Problems quest, where you’ll have to work with the Cheshire Cat again to figure out how to revert Alice to her usual self....

And $5.75 shipping; they always get you on the shipping One reddit user accidentally picked up a defective Samus Aran amiibo, and he’s going to profit considerably off of it — more than one G per arm cannon. Therare Samus amiibo, which was put on eBay one week ago,just sold for $2,500. It received 75 bids during that time, as many surely wanted a piece of Nintendo history, and definitely didn’t want to simply flip it in a few years....

Through use of third-party plugins, bad actors could abuse a Kaveh ability inGenshin Impactto explode Dendro Cores and delete any interactable entity in the overworld. The situation is now resolved, with the developer HoYoverse making a statement that the issues have been fixed and perpetrators have been banned.

This is a real item,I swear to baby Jesus. I have yet to crack this sucker open and make a batch, but I will be so disappointed if angels don’t sing when I pop off the lid.

‘He can’t be bleat’ Mods make the world go ’round. That’s especially the case for mods pertaining to super old games, like the 2007 originalWitcher, which is still living solely on the PC platform. It might be unwieldy for some, especially afterWitcher III, but I actually prefer it to the second entry, and it does a wonderful job of setting up this weird and wild world that author Andrzej Sapkowski created nearly 30 years ago....

A great way to lose friends using good old-fashioned magic When Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester revealed the company’s plans to expand into cross-platform multiplayer experiences last week at the Paradox Convention, I was extremely interested to see what the Swedish publisher would be showcasing. One might even say excited. After the trailer forMagicka: Wizards of the Square Tabletfaded to black, my enthusiasm was greatly diminished. To my eyes it looked like a stripped-down, 2DMagickafor platforms I rarely care about....
