Drinky Talky Thingy Podcast #83: Like a Dog with a Bone

See were not the only ones that rate Simulator games highly

Many regular listeners may have noticed that Paddy is a bit like a dog with a bone, when he finds a topic he likes he will keep talking about it until everyone agree’s with him. It work the other way as well, if there is something he is not happy about then your damn well going to know about it.

This makes things doubly bad for the guys at Blizzard who over the last year crossed the boundary back and forth between loved and hated, and it does not seem to be over this week either.

Aside from the ranting at Blizzard we did however get Paddy to talk about other things including the bad news about layoffs at various studios, the closure of both a legendary studio and magazine and bad times going on at OnLive. To be honest the news didnt get much better after that either, but hopefully we managed to cheer it up a bit by throwing in news 9of new things from Valve and and a Plants vs Zombies announcement.

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