Escapist News Wrap: Gaming Leaks and Sword-Fighting Kickstarters

[Susan Arendt]

We all do miss ENN but I think the podcast has sort of taken over that role now.

We miss it too, BUT! We do CheckPoint now, over at PATV, which is basically the same thing:

Oh don't worry I watch Checkpoint as well and so do most of my friends Are you allowed to say why ENN was stopped here? It seemed rather abrupt since it was so popular.

Because it wasn't that popular. The people who liked it really liked it, (us included) , but there just weren't enough of them.

Susan is correct. We've never been coy about it, the series got cancelled due to lack of viewership. No big deal.

Just like to point out, the Razer Hydra is a PC peripheral.

And now I know what Steve Butts looks like.

He's so dreamy...

This actually surprises me...

I always thought Steve was more Happy beard. Kinda like this:

On a point of actual criticism, I don't quite know what it is but something is a bit.... visually off. Aside from that nice.

Steve Butts, Y U NO LOOK LIKE IN MY HEAD WHEN ON PODCATS?

Seriously though, should be interesting. Curious, is it just going to be Steve or are we going to get to see what others look like.

...and if Greg Tito doesn't look like Richard Hammond with coke-bottle glasses, so help me...

Hah, google images is your friend... though in this case it might not be. Tito's not quite Hammond, however (and I mean this in the best possible way) he does have a bit of hamster in him in my opinion. No glasses though.

Anyway great job Steve! Your delivery felt a bit rushed but the news reporting was good, I normally read the articles but it's hard not to miss a few.

Beards make everything better.

 

[T3hSource]

Good,but it can use some improvement.Perhaps a little more personality and character wouldn't hurt?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Beards make everything better.

Wait a second...


That shirt doesn't go with that jacket!

Im glad the escapist is getting something like this again. I feel that this type of show really works well with 2 people instead of one, maybe Susan would join?

I like this show a lot. It seems new and is very informative. It also appears to be quite balanced where he lets you decide about what to think about it and presents the real information about the news clearly and balanced.
