The video game industry was dominated by two major news stories recently, so we felt it our patriotic duty to discuss both issues on the latest episode of Power Button. First up, Brad Hilderbrand, Joey Davidson, and I discuss the fallout from the ApocalyPS3: whose Sony PlayStation 3 had a date-related freak attack (poor Brad), how Sony can fix the resulting PR problem (if there is one), why the issue even happened in the first place, and more. Then we change gears to talk about the big shakeup at Infinity Ward and how the firing of Jason West and Vince Zampella is either the beginning of the end for the Modern Warfare brand or the smartest thing Activision has ever done. We think you'll be surprised at the consensus. Pardon the lateness of this episode (originally recorded March 4), as Joey skipped town for a family vacation in sunny Orlando for a week rather than finish editing the final mix of the show. Now those are mixed-up priorities!
