(Recorded May 4th) In this episode we return to our original format with a plain old Lincolncast - so Guild Wars 2 stuff starts about at about 1:03h. We open with talking about Iron Man 3, Thomas Was Alone, Neverwinter and more in our usual off-topic section - oh, and Nooborama has actually read some non-fiction this week! Anyway, we eventually discuss our thoughts on the recent big patch, including dungeon reactions from Thurbleton, guild puzzle experiences and some pretty up-beat discussion about spectator mode and custom arenas from myself and Dourin. Music: "The Pentagon" by The Hamster Alliance Featured Members: Thurbleton, selfconfessedcynic, Dourin & No0b0rAmA Run time: 2:05:55 Topics for the week:
- (Guild Wars 2 stuff happens at around 1:03h)
- We open in our old format with what we've been playing, including Thomas Was Alone, Neverwinter and CS GO
- Movies and Books obviously also get mentioned, so Pygmy is discussed along with Iron Man 3
- Guild Wars 2 discussion revolves around the latest patch this week
- The new dungeon seems fine?
- Spectator mode works. In fact, it works well.
- Custom Arenas are kinda cool, but with definite caveats.
- Stay tuned for our SECOND Josh Foreman interview coming next week!
- Check out Catherine and Thomas Was Alone (especially for EU Playstation Plus members since they're free)
- Pygmy is a cool book, and Game Dev Tycoon is a cool game too!

The Lincolncast, Episode 43 for the week of April 27th If you were surprised last time, I bet you didn't expect us to have all played GW2 for a second show running. We're here in force this week to discuss the major end-of-April patch recently outlined by Arenanet along with some final thoughts on the Super Adventure Box and Flame and Frost. But that isn't the whole show - things have been moving in gaming in general so we're doing another half-and-half episode, with a pseudo-Scotchcast taking up the second part of the show. Tune in to find out our thoughts on the next Xbox announcement-announcement and Nintendo's drastic new plans for E3. Music: "The Pentagon" by The Hamster Alliance & "Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5 Featured Members: selfconfessedcynic, No0b0rAmA, Dourin, Thurbleton & shinboy630 Run time: 2:56:08 Topics for the week:
- (Scotchcast half starts at 1:45:30)
- We open with GW2 talk this week once more, starting with discussion about what we know of the new dungeon
- Custom Arenas sound awesome!
- Spectator mode draws out some reactions from myself and Shinboy - for perhaps the wrong reasons
- Super Adventure Box is about to go away, and we get in some last impressions
- For the Scotchcast half we discuss the next Xbox which shall be announced on May 21st
- Oh, and Nintendo is taking a very odd approach to E3 which has some of us concerned.
- All that and and more in this week's show, including what we've been playing
- Stay tuned for our SECOND Josh Foreman interview coming soon!

In this week's off-topic show we don't really have any news to talk about and none of us have played a game which came out this week! BUT thankfully that doesn't mean we have nothing to talk about. Listen in for some video game music reminiscence, Gary's Mod madness, Guild Wars 2 vs Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate and Uncharted 3 (once a wild Shinboy makes an appearance). Finally - well, near the end anyway - we have an extended discussion regarding my recent experiences with Half Life 2 and how I think it holds up in today's video game space with some interesting comparisons to Portal.

The Lincolncast, Episode 42 for the week of April 6th In near-unprecedented fashion, we have ALL played Guild Wars 2 this week and have a bunch to say about it. Tune in for talk about the March patch, including some sPvP impressions, a recent romp through the Flame and Frost living story stuff and finally - of course - a bunch about the kickass new Super Adventure Box content. AFTER all of that, we hit off-topic with a discussion about numerous games including my closing thoughts on Dark Souls and our final segment on Bioshock Infinite at the end. Music: "The Pentagon" by The Hamster Alliance Featured Members: selfconfessedcynic, Dourin, No0b0rAmA & Thurbleton Run time: 4:16:46 Topics for the week:
- We OPEN with GW2 talk this week - and quite a bit of it
- I have some choice words to say about my short foray into sPvP this week, and we discuss if GW2's esports attempts will ever pay off
- Noob and I were simply overjoyed at the brevity of the Flame and Frost content... for the wrong reasons
- Thankfully, Super Adventure Box is all the way awesome
- We round out the GW2 discussion this week with a quick roundup about how we think the game is going and what the prospects are for the inevitable expansion
- After 2:20, off-topic fills the rest of this absurdly long show
- Dark Souls isn't quite for me, but Dark Souls 2 for SOME REASON still sounds cool
- Noob is just a bad person - and Thurb was party to some of his nonsense
- Dourin's been playing Star Craft 2 but also some other stuff
- And finally, as Noob heads to sleep, the rest of us engage in a progressively more spoilery (with warnings) discussion of Bioshock Infinite for the last time on this show.
- Shinboy did a Bioshock Infinite review at plugandplaygaming.com

SPOILERS!! In this bonus episode of the Lincolncast for the week, instead of GDC (where not much happened), Shinboy, Commodore Jenkins and myself (selfconfessedcynic) sit down and discuss the wonderful experience which is Bioshock Infinite. Having just finished the game, we're definitely still feeling the afterglow and have a lot to say.
