Power Gamer Podcast: Episode 165

Greetings and welcome to the Power Gamer Podcast. I’m your host, Mike Dawson, joined as always by fellow hosts Johnny Poulos and Kim Ponticello…

Segment 1: Johnny was excited to see this Borderlands movie. Mike said it made him want to bash himself in the head with a rock. The scores are out - are we still going to see this?

Segment 2: Game Informer suddenly closed shop. A near and dear publication to Mike, who’s been reading the magazine since the 90’s (and was an active subscriber). We tip our cap to the end of major US based video game magazine publications and reminisce on better times.

Segment 3: iD gets it. Enhanced versions of Doom & Doom 2 make their way online. A new episode from iD. Enhancements. Preservation. $10. Kudos iD.
