The Bobby Blackwolf Show - October 16, 2011
Tonight's featured interview is with voice actors John Patrick Lowrie and Ellen McLain. John is most well known as The Sniper from Team Fortress 2, and Ellen is most well known as GLaDOS from the Portal series. We ask them how they got into the business, what the fan reaction has been like, and we get THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER as to why Valve has such an aversion to releasing a game with the number three in it.
But first, we mourn the loss of two giants in the tech industry. One you've heard of - Steve Jobs. The other, probably not - Dennis Ritchie, inventor of the C programming language and co-founder of the Unix operating system.
We give our early impressions of Forza Motorsport 4. If you want to be in the All Games Network car club, just search out the initials "AGN" in the game!
Then we take calls and emails about PlayStation Home and the Halo Warthog in Forza 4.

Sony has placed a clause in the new EULA that prohibits people from entering into class action lawsuits against them unless they opt-out via snail mail.
EA has done the same thing, but they also prohibit individual lawsuits as well.
So the question throughout the episode is...do class actions really work? Bobby says no, some chatters say yes.
An independent study has some interesting figures about the public perception of the 3DS and 3D technology in general.
Then we take calls about 3D, League of Legends, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Sony has hired a former Homeland Security chief to make sure that another crippling hack does not happen again.
Atari is suing a website that has Atari in the name...Why do they hate their fans?

The theme for this show is "Retailers vs. Publishers" - as it seems that there are many stories of them being at odds with each other.
The first story deals with Gamestop removing coupons to redeem a free version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution playable on the OnLive cloud gaming service. They then just removed the product entirely and are issuing coupons of their own to dissatisfied customers.
Ubisoft is no stranger to overbearing DRM, and From Dust is no exception. Steam is actually offering refunds of the title due to the DRM.
If you're waiting for your favorite PSN title to come to Xbox Live Arcade, go ahead and stop holding your breath.
Then we take calls about Gamestop, Wing Commander, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
