The Bobby Blackwolf Show

  • We spent the weekend at the Southern Fried Gameroom Expo, an Atlanta-based convention featuring arcade and pinball machines.
  • In an interview that I thought was awkward but nobody else did, we speak with Video Game Player Of The Century Billy Mitchell about competitive gaming in 2014, and what he's doing to promote it.
  • Microsoft states that they're not shutting down the Games For Windows Live service on July 1st as was rumored.
  • Did you see the awesome person in the cover photo of a Polygon article about Nintendo?
  • Then we take a call about the Steam Summer Sale.

Great episode! I do love me some classic games (though I'm more into arcade games as opposed to pinball, but if I find a neat looking table I'll play it)

And on the whole Billy Mitchell thing, I didn't think the interview was that bad! I just hope his 'on-camera' persona doesn't wind up hurting his cause, cause I'm all for introducing the new generation of gamers to the old classics... they're way more fun than Angry Birds, at least to me, anyway.

Fun fact: Billy Mitchell is a character in a UK soap opera called EastEnders. So when I google "Billy Mitchell" it thinks I'm looking for the the soap opera character. Yeah, thanks Google.

Billy is a tall man.

Talk about how my E3 prediction kicked butt next time, okay?

I thought I did on the E3 wrapup show!

It's not in the next show (I fell behind on the podcasts, it's coming out on Thursday night to give this one time to be on the feed) but I'm sure I'll mention it on the following one since you'll keep reminding me. ;)

You did read the comment when you got back from E3. But you didn't say how right I was!

The PS Vita TV can technically stream PS3/4(?) games right? So I'd say I'm at least a third right on that prediction, and the price point I was spot on.

I should just call in to make it easier. The problem is, I keep falling asleep. I swear, it's not you.

I could have sworn Bobby mentioned your prediction on the show a few weeks ago. New $99 console announcement right?

He did read it, he just didn't give me enough air time. Then again, he did call me a "BLOODY BRIT" on the comments section of Sony on the site, ha.
