Join the crew of Larry(Bluemanrule), Matt(Chtulu80), and Matt(Patriot 1030) as we go over the news of the time along with the roundtable about licensed games.

Old school challenge is something that is lost in video games today. Too often you see challenge interpreted as how many different kind of bullets you put into any number of various enemies using any array of guns.  A while back, I wondered if a protagonist could interact with the environment in a non-violent way.  Catherine answered my call.  The Altus Persona team brings its eccentric sense of humor and relationships to Catherine, and it is a dynamic combination.

Join Bluemanrule, TmoHOU87, and the Aceblack as we welcome first-time podcaster and Fellowship of Gamers writer AntDog17 to the show.  We delve into the Madden 12 demo, EA's monopolistic grip on football, and Catherine.  

The roundtable discussion of the week revolves around the University of Miami's allegations by Nevin Shapiro.  The crew discusses how detrimental illegal contributions to 72 players in eight years could be to the program.  

Finally, a very special shout-out to VicJohUSMC86 who will take a leave of absence from podcasting in the foreseeable future.  Tinpanalley makes a plea at the beginning of the show to keep the 40cast going strong.  All this and more on the Diamond anniversary of Open Forum Radio.  Let's get it. 

Blueman and Aceblack reign in BedsidePhd from Xbox Live as VicJohUSMC86 and TMO are out.  In television, we discuss why mancards need to pulled for those shows Bedside prefers to watch.  We move into Captain America from there and then, the show gets geeky.  We discuss Mavel's three movies this summer and give our quick thoughts on the Avengers movie in 2012.  

Then, we pose the question, which comic book character do you relate to most?  You'd be surprised to hear some of these answers.  Almost as surprised to at what we played this week.  All this and more on episode 74 of Open Forum Radio.  Let's get it!
