Weekend Confirmed 120 - Dawnguard, Day Z, Diablo 3
by Garnett Lee, Jul 06, 2012 11:00am PDTDespite the summer's dearth of new releases, the Weekend Confirmed crew get into some spirited discussions about Diablo 3's questionable end-game, and what it's like to be a vampire in Skyrim's new expansion, Dawnguard. Garnett, Jeffs Cannata and Mattas, and regular guest Andrea Rene also delve into some talk about the Day Z beta mod that brings hardcore zombie survival to ArmA 2, and opine a bit about ZombiU and Sim City Social as well. The eclectic mix of topics all wraps up with another batch of Finishing Moves.

Yes, we all encourage you to talk about what you're playing, but there are certain games that were talked about TO DEATH on the internet, and AC2/BroHo, Red Dead, Bioshock, MW2, MGS4, and the like are in that category, soon to be joined by Skyrim and Diablo 3.
All great games, more than worthy of discussion at the time, but they need a little time out of the spotlight.
It's different when you talk about things like the Yakuza games because there's so much less discussion surrounding those games, or when you talk about previous-generation games which have laid fallow for a few years and so it's not quite as "been there, done that" when talking about them.
Other than that, it is still interesting to hear after-the-fact impressions on older games. Just that the timing wasn't great for this one in particular.
Great show, as usual, keep up the good work.
