Weekend Confirmed Episode 38
by Garnett Lee, Dec 10, 2010 12:00pm PSTTwo hallmarks of the season come together this episode of Weekend Confirmed. Brian got hit full force with the flu this week and is out recouperating (get well soon buddy). But this time of year always brings people together and in that spirit, joining Garnett and Jeff this week are David Ellis and Billy Berghammer. A massive show ensues. All four have been playing Cataclysm and share their different experiences both with the early and high-level content. But this isn't Warcraft Confirmed and there's more Gran Turismo 5 talk and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood to round out Whatcha' Been Playin? Your insights on the future for Modern Warfare 3 lead the Warning, where the topic of whether our expectations have risen too high for games in general. Big time game announcements in advance of the VGAs anchor the news in the Front Page.

Comments
This had to be one of the best episodes---no offense, Brian, I love your input---and just a collegial and friendly good time.
Dammit, Jeff is just sucking me back into WOW and I'm even downloading the client as I type this. I love the WOW comments and while you aren't going to turn the whole show over to it, of course, it's great that you are treating it like any other title you are excited about.
Loved Garnett's comments about how once WOW becomes more single-player, it has to face the music and be compared to standard rpgs. I'm interested to see if I share his opinion but I always got bored with WOW when it depended too much on teamwork because of standing around waiting to group.
Good stuff on AC:B and I hope Jeff or Brian get to it. I put it aside after the first hour to finish EM but I'm definitely going back to it.
Every time you guys bring old friends on the show, it's just awesome! Please include more guests in the future.
