In which the gang laments lost games and sneaks trading cards past TSA agents.

This week, the regular Chattycast panel is all back together, inasmuch as you can call them "regular." The gang discusses non-gaming hobbies, studio acquisitions, vaporware, Pokemon on iPad, and Goodwill's gaming store.

      Ozzie knows what's up. Prey 2 all the way. I wish Bethesda hadn't tried to acquire the development studio by force. Prey 3 would've just been around the corner. Someone needs to do a Rob Zacny-esque feature on the unmaking on that game.

      Do you know that to this day, Bethesda's hasn't been in touch with either the developers, composers, anyone to tell them their work was cancelled?

      Question: what is the metric you rely on to determine listenership? For example, a lot of podcasts ask you to rate them on iTunes, but I can't stand Apple's implementation and avoid it like The Plague. (I use Downcast instead). However, if that's what you use as well, I'm willing to pinch my nose for a couple of minutes and register my enthusiasm for it there.
