You may have noticed we’re running a bit behind here on BHS, but fear not! This isn’t the beginning of a multi-month slump – I’ve been moving back to Mississippi this week. We should be getting back to our regular schedule in the next few days.

On this week’s BDPE we talk about how Squaresoft has given up on creativity, Brutal Legend owns Activision, Best Buy selling new games at used prices, and Scratch is now officially dead. Plus we review some summer XBLA games and try to figure out why celebrities drive sales in video games.

If you have any feedback email us here or call the listener line at 845-BATTLE-9. You can also talk amongst yourselves in the forums.

Just so we’re all clear, my face does not look like a brick in Mario.

On this week’s show we talk about smuggling pot in your MAME cabinet, playing with yourself in Guitar Hero 5, and recommend you all go pre-order T.I’s new MMORPG.

We also review the new Gears of War Dark Corners / All Fronts Map Packs, revisit Too Human (spoiler alert, it’s still balls), and finally learn why black people like Scarface so much.

Any feedback can be emailed here, or preferably call our listener line at 845-BATTLE-9, and post any thoughts in the forum.
