GameHounds 217: Happy Beginnings

First off, we want to apologize.

Last week, when we wrote the title for Episode 216, it never occured to us that anyone might interprent the phrase “end of an era” to mean “end of a GameHounds era.”

We were talking about Rock Band. Not us. Don’t worry, you’re stuck with us for a long, long time. In fact, Edie Sellers just recently inked a deal that her frozen head will host the podcast until 2135.

And that contract? It’s pretty airtight. Get it?

Aaaanyway, Edie, Nick Dinicola, and Holy Goalie gave you a whole host of stories to gab about, including:

Short reviews of Bioshock Infinite, Safecracker, Guacamelee!, Borderland 2 Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode;
SimCity coming to Mac on June 11 along with cheetah speed on all platforms.
Deep Silver says they’re better than EA, Activision, or Ubisoft.
Twisted Pixel’s lead designer crunches layoff data and comes up with not-very-alarming results.
Microsoft calls for a big event on May 21, sparking rumors that it’s the official announcement of the Durango.
