LIGHTLY EDITED: This is a previously unreleased episode of The Bobby Blackwolf Show, and is released with minimal editing (removing the music break.) Please keep this in mind when you hear long awkward pauses that are typically edited out of the podcast. In this episode, we give our impressions of Scribblenauts and Guitar Hero 5, and we talk about if you'll need a console at all to play future rhythm action games.

LIGHTLY EDITED: This is a previously unreleased episode of The Bobby Blackwolf Show, and is released with minimal editing (removing the music break.) Please keep this in mind when you hear long awkward pauses that are typically edited out of the podcast. In this episode, we amend our The Beatles: Rock Band review, talk about PAX'09, and discuss Courtney Love suing Activision over Cobain's likeness in Guitar Hero 5.

In this non-live condensed episode (we're too drunk at PAX to give you a real episode) we give our review of the Xbox 360 version of The Beatles: Rock Band. But be sure to check out The Digital Cowboys podcast "Independence" to get a little meta on why we do what we do. We'll be live again next week!

We will be at the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle on Labor Day Weekend! Unfortunately, PAX completely sold out since we recorded the episode, so if you don't already have a ticket, try again next year. Microsoft dropped the price of the Xbox 360 Elite to $299.99, but is missing features. Rumors exist that cross-game chat on the PS3 is being stifled by Electronic Arts. We hate rumors. Our midpoint song is PAX performer Jonathan Coulton's "Re: Your Brains". Then we take calls about football games and hiding your plays, voice chat, and Mortal Kombat: Unchained for PSP.

There were two conventions this week - BlizzCon and Gamescom. We talk about Gamescom and not much about BlizzCon. The PS3 Slim is a reality, but what won't it have? Firmware 3.00 will have minor improvements to the New PlayStation Experience. A gaming magazine surveyed their readers about Xbox 360 failure rates and everyone is counting it as gospel. Then we take calls about what games we would finance if we won the lottery, video game fan translations like Policenauts, piracy, online video services, Wii DRM, and Facebook games.
