Gaming on the Rocks Ep. 52 – Nintendo’s Hardware Future, “Her” and A Pirate’s Life for Me

Update: 2014-02-03

Description

This week, we discuss what might help Nintendo’s troubling console, why ACIV is better as a pirate sim and the realism of “Her.”

Mike Barrett, contributor to pixelsordeath.com and gaygamer.net, joins us tonight to discuss the state of Nintendo. The Wii U hasn’t been doing well, which can only mean Nintendo is doooooomed. Right? RIGHT? Abandon the ship before it sinks.

Speaking of ships, Ubisoft built a wonderful pirate simulator called Assassin’s Creed IV. GotR’s Chief Assassin’s Creed Correspondent Greg Galiffa reports.

And finally, we review Spike Jonze’s newest film, “Her.” Sci-fi meets romance meets high-waisted pants.
