Drinky Talky Thingy Episode #59: A case of mistaken identity

He does look pretty evil in this picture, maybe thats why Gow mistook him for Kotick

Look at that picture, then open a new tab and go Google Bobby Kotick. If anyone can find a picture that makes Kotick look like our old pal Bill Roper here – I will send you a free game from my review pile.

Aside from Gow’s inability to tell people apart we had lots of gaming news to go over, too much infact. So you will find a new section to the post below labelled ‘Not Enough Time’ which is full of the links to the stuff we had to drop from the show.

That meant that what eventually did make it into the show was pure gold, or at least it seemed like it at the time beer can do that to you. During the show we found the time to mull over the nominations for this years BAFTA games awards, to ruminate on the sever magic of NCSoft & Guild Wars 2, to laugh at research that gaming is destroying marriages and even found the time to once again laugh at Activision stupidity and Bobby Kotick in general.

All that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
