Please remember that Level Up - The Videogame Podquiz is meant to be entertainment and while we cover videogame industry news we do so in a contemptuous, critical, and mocking manner.
All opinions expressed are personal, and particularly from the host who's got better things to do than fact check everything that crosses his desk, largely ill informed. Basically take anything you hear with a bucket of salt. Except for the nailed on factual stuff of course. That's definitely true and absolutely not opinion. Mostly.

The final recording (though possibly not the last episode) of the series has David Gower (@Gowerly) and Hany Gohary (@DaxHalo) going head to head again.

This week we skirt the issues of gamergate; corruption; Gearbox; Take Two; Unreal Engine 4; Minecraft; Bayonetta; Project CARS; pixelating pirates; Rayman.

Best of all, Dave sings.

This has proven to be the toughest editing job yet with several back references through over two and a half hours of recording eventually down to about the hour mark and hopefully no widows or orphans.

Not sure if I inadvertently knocked the mic closer to my big mouth during the recording or if it's finally given up on me and I need a new one. Whichever, apologies for the distortion. Hope it doesn't make it unlistenable as you'd miss out on some gems from:

Debbie Timmins (@weefz); David Gower (@Gowerly) and Hany Gohary (@DaxHalo)

Gibber jabber includes: Phil Fish; 'Mature' games, industry lay offs, PS4 certification, OUYA, 1080p, board games, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Thief.
