No, it sadly isn’t a real Golden Ticket to Valve’s headquarters, but listener Katrel was nice enough to make it for us after our opining last week (he tells us he found it in a “box” of Portal 2), which takes the sting away a little. Thanks, Katrel!

This week has been slow for the gaming industry, allowing us to bring you all the news that is fit for your eagerly awaiting ears. We cover things like hacker troubles in Zynga-land, the state of PC ports, and how Nintendo is managing to mess up a product that is selling out anyways, as well as Metacritic’s lose-lose developer ratings system.

For feedback, complaints, and suggestions, hit us up at fgecpodcast@fullglassemptyclip.com. If you’re listening to us via iTunes, please review us so we aren’t so sad and lonely.

Zombie Games Forever

18 Mar Games and Gaming 1

Loading..

Generally a game has to be kinda off the wall to catch my attention. I’d much rather play, say, a game about punching bird people over another military shooter man game. But zombie games have a magical super power that keeps them from getting old, and I think I know why:

My Mom Plays Portal

My 53-year-old mother was recently in town visiting me, and while she was here, I decided to have her play lots and lots of video games. Even though she’s not really a gamer, she played Pong and Ms. Pac Man from time to time when she was younger, and when I was growing up, she would play the occasional game of Tetris on my NES. Currently, she enjoys playing Peggle, Wii Fit, and Katamari Damacy (or as she calls it: “The rolly-up game,”) but that’s pretty much the extent of her gaming experience. Because I am not above exploiting my own family for entertainment purposes, I decided to take notes while she played and write about the experience.
