The boys are back after a little post-PAX hiatus, and tackle the big questions this week. You know, like, "who records this podcast again?" Or, "what's the make of Ben's computer actually called?" They also talk about the big news of the week, like Xbox One self-publishing, PS4 friends list limits and how Saints Row IV managed an MA15+ rating in Australia. Secret Sound A successful Secret Sound guess this week will net you a copy of Bioshock Infinite on Xbox 360! Post your guess in the comments section on either MMGN or Stevivor. Good luck!

With PAX AUS in full swing, the boys of the Friendly Fire Cast are taking a bit of a break.* Don't fret, though! In their place this week is a (kind of dodgy iPhone) recording of the "Gamer Rage - Entitlement Issues" panel that took place Saturday 20 July in the PAX AUS Wombat Theatre. Here's the description of the panel, straight from the PAX AUS program: "Gamers are an entitled bunch. Over the past five years alone we've had petitions launched to change the ending of an epic space adventure, frenzied debate over cover art for a thought provoking, 1920's shooter and most recently, had petitions launched to President Obama to stop sales of a certain title because consumers believe “it violates our rights to have a choice between the originals or the reboot.” Are gamers crazy? Or are they simply passionate beyond belief? "Our panel is going to take a look at five occasions of extreme “gamer entitlement” and talk about the issue at its core. Did consumers have a right to request BioWare rewrite the entire ending of Mass Effect 3, or was that an impeachment on their artistic vision as creators?" Panelists * Stephen Heller [Pixels for Breakfast] * Jess "Jiggsy" Hodgson [EA] * Ben Salter [MMGN] * Steve Wright [Stevivor.com] * Nic Watt [Nnooo] * Mark Isaacson [The Indie Game Magazine] We'll be back with our regular Friendly Fire Podcast format next week. Thanks for tuning in! *By "taking a bit of a break," we mean that the boys are neck-deep in gaming goodness. Keep it glued to MMGN and Stevivor for continued coverage.

Ben, Leo, Tano and Steve get together with beers and a GameCube this week and wax lyrical about the Nintendo of old. They also find out that nostalgia might be putting some rose-coloured glasses over their memories of Timesplitters 2. Secret Sound We have a new sound for you this week, with Game and Wario on Wii U, plus a copy of Jack Reacher on DVD up for grabs. Post your guess in the comments section (on MMGN or Stevivor), on Facebook or via email to friendlyfirecast@gmail.com. Good luck!

This week Ben and Leo are joined by regular guest Gaetano as the boys come to realise they haven't been playing anything great this week -- Remember Me and Deadpool combine as decent games that should have been better. Plus we give departing Xbox boss Don Mattrick an obvious nickname after a ridiculous debate about its pronunciation and cover a fairly uneventful week in gaming news by spending too much time reminiscing about the GameCube's Capcom Five. Secret Sound Congrats to last week's winners! We have a new sound for you this week, with Soul Sacrifice on PlayStation Vita and a copy of Jack Reacher on DVD up for grabs. Post your guess in the comments section (on MMGN or Stevivor), on Facebook or via email to friendlyfirecast@gmail.com. Good luck!

On this week's Friendly Fire Cast, Leo, Ben and special guest Tano discuss the recent game bannings in Australia and take you through their best and worst of E3.

On this week's Friendly Fire Cast, Ben and Steve forget they're doing a podcast halfway through and just ramble about full E3 schedules. You'll love it! When they're concentrating, the boys also talk about the recent robbery at MMGN, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Fantastia: Music Evolved, Fable: Anniversary, Halo: Spartan Assault and actual E3-related news. Secret Sound We've got a new (slightly less challenging, since no one guessed last week) secret sound for this week! If you can guess it, you can pick up a copy of Defiance on PS3. Send guesses in via a comment on this post (on MMGN or Stevivor) or via email to friendlyfirecast@gmail.com. Good luck! Next Week - Live(ish) from E3! Next week's Friendly Fire Cast will be recorded during E3 in Los Angeles when we find a rare free moment between playing unreleased games, drinking someone else's bar tab and maybe even writing about some of those games. Maybe. What do you want to know about E3? Post your questions below, from what type of pizza is available mid-jog between Activision and Sony's booths, to suggestions on the easiest way to sneak in, and maybe even a serious question -- we'll answer anything E3 related!

Ben and Steve are your hosts this week, and together they discuss a multitude of previews.

If you need to catch up on Xbox One news, you can head here: * Stevivor's Xbox One portal * MMGN's Xbox One portal What do you think of the upcoming Xbox One? Comment here or on MMGN, or fire us an email to friendlyfirecast@gmail.com.

Ben and Steve once again are your hosts this week, recording as some sort of bomb blast went off in the Stevivor offices. So, um, sorry about that. The boys go over a heap of EA news, the retail release of Telltale's The Walking Dead, some Kickstarter projects, an informal Injustice poll and so much more. SECRET SOUND Continuing on with amazing Secret Sound prizes, you'll be able to pick up an Avenger Xbox 360 controller peripheral (controller not included) and a copy of Defiance on 360 if you guess the sound embedded near the end of the podcast.

Ben, Leo, Steve and Fire Emblem specialist Luke set a good example this week by recording the Friendly Fire Cast in a bar... at 1.00 pm. The boys delve into more speculation about the Xbox reveal event, mention Pizza Hut a suspicious number of times and vent about the latest round of Nintendo disappointments. Oh, and Steve admits Star Trek is rubbish. MASSIVE SECRET SOUND This is our biggest Secret Sound prize yet! And possibly the last if we don't get a winner.

We talk BioShock Infinite, Luigi's Mansion 2 and these crazy new things called "Wii U games" with Monster Hunter 3, LEGO City Undercover and Need for Speed: Most Wanted!
