It's Jumping the Shark Episode 37 and I have no idea what happened as I wasn't there. Troy Goodfellow was though, so I'm sure they talked strategy games, and probably Civ 5 at that.  Woo.

Danielle is back!  Danielle is back!  Danielle is back!  So are Brandon, Bill and Todd but they don't go anywhere so screw them.  We talk about Spider-Man, Batman, Metroid and other things before getting down and dirty about DLC.  Be sure to stick around after the closing theme to hear more discussion about Metroid: Other M.

Danielle is still on vacation but Tom Chick returns to talk open world gaming with Brandon, Todd and Bill.  It's a hoot. We also talk Bioshock 2 DLC, Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 DLC, the new Layton and a slew of video game hockey.

This week on Jumping the Shark, Troy Goodfellow of FlashOfSteel.com and the Three Moves Ahead podcast subs-in for vacationing Danielle as he talks with Bill, Brandon, and Todd about what he's been playing lately (Elemental and Victoria II) and about this week's topic: Games that get released before they're fully baked. Also, Bill sends Mafia II to sleep with the fishes. Join us for another week of fun and frivolity during which hardly any animals are harmed.
