Look, let's just be honest with each other, we all what's going to happen here. You want to play FTL, Torchlight 2, or Borderlands 2. We want to talk about those games as well as TGS. But we can make this work. So how about you download the show and a copy of one of the above games, and we'll keep you entertained for an hour a a half while playing.

Square Enix responds to a rumor. Planescape may come back to Torment us again. Pandas have a release date. But will you be most excited about the Baldur's Gate's Enhanced Edition details that have hit the web? The post RPGCast – Episode 232: “Manny Come Back!” appeared first on RPGamer.

In order to validate our E3 experience, we'll be changing the site's name. Okay, not really. But it does seem like we were a bit light on RPGs at E3 this year. We'll cover what we liked and what little news has come forth since in this week's show. The post RPGCast – Episode 226: “FPSGamer” appeared first on RPGamer.

RPG Cast's pre-E3 celebration is underway. Come party with us as we play Witcher on our Macs, download expansions as DLC, and raid Blizzard's Korean offices.

We take marketing lessons from Satoru Iwata. Then we learn about what properties will make a great MMO from Zenimax. Finally we get psychological help from Shawn Cooper. You'll never find a better source for business and life advice than the good old RPG Cast. The post RPGCast – Episode 221: “Reggie Can You Sign This Podcast?” appeared first on RPGamer.

The premium edition of the RPGCast comes with five vinyl statues, fourteen stickers, and two paper maps.

Clothes that dry themselves and barrels full of special edition games are the focus of this week's RPG Cast.
