The mellifluous Jon Rowe joins us for a special 3D edition of the podcast: Day Z, Defender Chronicles 2, and, of course, Diablo III. As our official Day Z correspondent, Jon walks us through the various ethical and moral dilemmas you’ll face in this recent mod for Arma II. For instance, is it okay to shoot a guy in the face to take his beans? And what should you do when you see someone’s flare lying on the ground? And is it a good idea to hang around on the beach to try to make friends?

This week we talk with Kevin Perry, the executive producer of Age of Empires Online, about the recent dramatic changes made to the game. We also discuss A Valley Without Wind, Streetfighters Cross Tech-In (close enough), Survarium (huh?), Shadowbane (yep, Shadowbane), and one of the best things to come out of the 90s (besides Xena Warrior Princess): Shadow Watch.

Join us this week for a discussion on the first 30 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles (we’ll tell you when and how much to fast forward if you want to skip spoilers), the Halo 4 announcement, Trails Evolution, The Binding of Isaac, and Skull Girls. We also say goodbye to a friend. Rest in peace, Brian Rucker. You were part of the best of us.

This week’s guest, Brian Kent, was a senior airman in the US Air Force. That is 100% true. He spent time in a secret underground bunker in Omaha. That is 50% true. He joins us to discuss the latest Bethesda silliness, if Dark Souls is suited for the PC, and whether we should be skeptical about Lost Planet 3. And while you might expect that Xenoblade Chronicles is at least one of our games of the week, you’ll never guess what we picked for the other 302 games of the week.

This week we are joined by Rudy Basso, a member in good standing of the comedy troupe Cows Come Home and the author of Farming Vader, a series of short stories about Star Wars: Old Republic. We discuss Rock Band: Blitz, the upcoming facelift for Anarchy Online, the Leisure Suit Larry kickstarter, and then our picks for game of the week. We should warn you that Rudy does some weird jujitsu by picking a subscription based hybrid of computer game and tabletop RPG. Mass Effect 3 isn’t mentioned even once.

On this week’s podcast, we take film restoration technician Seth Berkowitz to task for defacing Dr. Strangelove. Then we derail into some movie talk that ranges from Citizen Kane to Chelan Simmons. In case you’re not familiar, Citizen Kane is an old timey movie by Orville Welles and Chelan Simmons is one of the stars of Chupacabra Terror. And since we finally have an assembly of three people who’ve finished Mass Effect 3, we variously offer our two cents on the ending (but only after a spoiler warning that will tell you exactly how far to fast-forward to avoid spoilers).

Maybe things will slow down in April, but as March subsides, we have far too many things to talk about. Michael Barnes joins us to discuss Mass Effect 3’s fan administered beatdown, the Journey brouhaha, the crazy 2D shooter Sine Mora, the enjoyable awfulness of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Kid Icarus taking flight on the 3DS, and even a taste of the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles. Of course, given that Barnes covers boardgaming over at Gameshark, expect a touch of tabletop talk.

Soren Johnson (not literally pictured) is the ruthlessly calculating mastermind behind one of the most hideously effective time sinks since actual civilization: Civilization IV. You might think such a fellow is too high-brow and dignified for the likes of us. We’ll be the judge of that on this week’s episode of the Qt3 Games Podcast. Tune in for a recap of the best of this year’s GDC, a little Mass Effect 3 talk, a discussion of the latest Kickstarter projects, and a scientific test that determines whether Soren Johnson is, in fact, a nerd.

This week we welcome Jeff “wumpus” Atwood to the show, only to embarrass ourselves horribly when we fail his basic interview process. But then he embarrasses himself horribly when he references what he thinks is a Bioware game. So we’re all even! We also talk a fair bit of Darkness II, Far Cry 3, the Game of Thrones card game, Rock Band and…well, you kind of have to hear Jeff’s pick for game of the week to believe it.
