This week, we’re talking about fat people. Publisher executives, internet hackers, Gabe Newell, and Tim Schaffer. Also most of the posters in the forums. William Miller is absent for the first half of this show, but don’t worry, we had the BDPE Soundboard to help us out. Thanks to SuperDerp for hooking us up, and you can check out this thread for more info.

Update 1: Some of you were having trouble with this episode playing 65 instead of 66. This was due to a bad enclosure tag, and has since been fixed. If you already got the wrong one in iTunes, however, your feed may not update. Just remember you can always find the link to the actual MP3s here on the site.
Update 2: The listener line has been restored, and can be reached at 845-BATTLE-9
Donald Trump said it best. “You’re Fired.” That’s what basically Activision told everybody that works for them this week who doesn’t work on a game with Duty in the name. Hopefully you’ll find another job before Walt Disney thaws out to give you marketing advice.
Also, he’s froze. Weird.

Marketing. Product quality. Contrary to popular belief in the gaming industry, these two things are not synonymous. Often, however, sales figures show them to be one in the same. And while Japanese developer’s profits are down, American game developers just can’t find enough dumb marketing schemes to sink mountains of cash into.
Did I say dumb ideas? Because I meant great. And I suddenly want to buy games without researching them. GET OUT OF MY HEAD LIQUID.

From the great book of HEAT:
… and darkness shall envelop the world for many months. The weaker followers would grow dissolute, turning away from their Lords for other worldly pleasures – ultimately finding only emptiness. But the true believers would never lose their faith, knowing that the three Lords of Gaming would return once again. – Monglers.845
But reckoning day is upon us, fair listener. For if you are here, you have seen the light. It has been a dark time in the history of BDPE, and your lords have returned.
News: PSP2 unveiled, Sony + Android = crap, and the Kinect somehow succeeds when it shouldn’t have
Judgement: Minecraft & Super Crate Box
