Perhaps once or twice over the next couple of weeks you’ll find yourself standing in line for a new video game console. Allow us to entertain you while you wait with our Games of the Generation Spectacular 2013!

The first half of this epic podcast includes talk about Beyond: Two Souls, Batman: Arkham Origins, Pokemon Y (Y? Because we like Pokemon!), Bioshock: Infinite and lots more. Then the second half arrives and we turn on the hyperbole machine to close out the Xbox 360/Playstation 3 era of video gaming. I don’t want to spoil any of our picks, but I will say this… if you’re not digging out your Rock Band instruments by the end of this episode then YOU HAVE NO SOUL.

Enjoy!

The saddest episode of No Quarters features tears over The Last of Us and The Walking Dead, anger sets in with Fast & Furious: Showdown, and confusion reigns when Dragon Age II and State of Decay are played. Thankfully, joy arrives as Chuck rediscovers Animal Crossing on his shiny new Nintendo 3DS. Also, stay away from kids.

It’s a bonus episode of No Quarters as we talk about all the drama, shenanigans and then eventually the games of E3 2013. Who won: Sony or Microsoft? Did Nintendo say anything interesting? Will the OUYA take over the gaming world? And when will someone put Razor Callahan in another Need For Speed game? All these questions will be answered in this very episode! (Note: Saints Row IV image unrelated to podcast, but SAINTS ROW IV OMG!)

While there are plenty of console games discussed this episode (including Tomb Raider, Mass Effect 3 Citadel, Far Cry 3, Dead Space 3, Defiance Beta and more), we continue our love/hate relationship with PC gaming. This month, Harlo re-enters the world and has more success than BJ did last month. Titles include SimCity, The Showdown Effect, FTL, Arma III, Planetside 2 and so many others. 3D gaming is pretty great too, but you gotta pay for it. You don’t have to pay for this podcast though, so get to listenin’.

If you happened to watch our live stream of the recording of this episode, you know that it was a giant mess of a show with technical snafus, pizza deliveries, code reds and the potential birth of a found footage movie as we all get murdered by phantom knockers. However, this audio recording features none of that since editing is a wonderful thing. In its place, we talk about Aliens: Colonial Marines, Dead Space 3, Lollipop Chainsaw, PC gaming, and the announcement of the Playstation 4. Come, join us.
