<p>This episode was recorded AFTER our <a href="?page_id=16386">Spoiler Warning</a> session this week, but it’s being released first. We were a little tired and a couple of hosts short by the time we got to this point.</p>
<p>Hosts: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_bean">Josh</a>, <a href="http://www.errantsignal.com/blog/">Chris</a>, and <a href="http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale">Shamus</a>.</p>
<p>Show notes:<span id="more-22170"></span></p>
<p><strong>1:00 Shamus is playing Elder Scrolls Online and EVE Online.</strong></p>
<p>We can’t talk about ESO yet. (Embargoed until Feburay 7th.) But we can talk about <a href="http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/the-bloodbath-of-b-r5rb/">the battle of B-R5RB</a>. Note that we had this conversation before I did the homework for <a href="?p=22139">my recent EVE post</a>.</p>
<p><strong>28:00 We move on from EVE and talk about space games more broadly.</strong></p>
<p>Like I said in the show, there are a lot of space games on the way.

<p>Did I miss any?</p>
<p><strong>34:00 Chris is playing Call of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Juarez:_Gunslinger">Juarez: Gunslinger</a>.</strong></p>
<p>We only cover this briefly. Not because there’s nothing to talk about, but Rutskarn already went over this a couple of months ago.</p>
<p><strong>38:30 Chris is also playing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bureau:_XCOM_Declassified">The Bureau: XCOM Declassified</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/stolen-pixels/7435-Stolen-Pixels-186-Well-Lookie-Who-We-Have-Here">Here’s the rant</a> (and comic) that I wrote about this game way back in 2010, when it was still in development. Here’s the Polygon Article Chris mentioned: <a href="http://www.polygon.com/features/2013/8/19/4614410/xcom-the-bureau-development-2006-2013">The many faces of the bureau: xcom declassified: from 2006 to 2013</a></p>
<p>This conversation got sidetracked into…</p>
<p><strong>43:00 Another Mass Effect rant? Really? REALLY?</strong></p>
<p>I blame Chris.</p>
<p><strong>53:00 Mailbag!</strong></p>
<p>We talk about Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and about Steam Early Access program and the difficulties of defining when a game is “done”.</p>
<p>Request: When you send us a question (the address is in the splash image at the top of the post) please put “Diecast” in the title so Josh can find them when we finally get around to reading them.</p>
