It’s been a while since we devoted an entire episode to purely listener questions and structureless BSing, so why not? Ask about whatever you want. Current news, old news, hypothetical questions, whatever. The best question will earn the person who asked it a Dtoid swag bag, so feel free to ask as much crap as you want....

Sony Computer Entertainment has filed a trademark forInfraworld, which has some speculating it could be the next project forHeavy Raindeveloper, Quantic Dream. Given the connection, it seems incredibly likely thatInfraworldwill be the title of Quantic Dreams upcoming title, one of two reportedly in development.

After hearing comments like “World at WarisCall of Duty 4with a new skin” being made around here, it’s pretty obvious that Treyarch’s latestCoDspin-off was influenced by the strong public reaction to what Infinity Ward achieved withCoD 4. Luckily, there’s more to this story than just that. Senior producerforWorld at War, Noah Heller,spoke with CVGabout how the importance of a solid multiplayer component is steadily growing and why single-player isn’t all developers should be focusing on....

Yes, this isThe Haloingof this Weekend Reading arc of mine. Finally, the comparison between console RPGs and pen & paper RPGs will come to a close. The two will duel it out in epic combat, mostly fuelled by your comments and the ones that existed on Digg. First, I want to take a minute to reflect back on this a bit myself. When I started this, I never really had the mindset to say that one was better than the other....

The answer to the question of Blizzard takingDiablo IIIto a console is mired in a bit of a mess right now.CVGis reporting on an interview with Blizzard’s COO Paul Sams andThe Guardianabout a release on either the PS3 or the Xbox 360, and the answer is unclear. When asked directly, Sams replied fairly shakily. I don’t know yet. A lot of it depends on whether we think the gameplay experience will be the same on console, especially regarding the controls....

Will Wright, best known for being a freakin’ genius (Sim City,The Sims,Spore), will be leaving Electronic Arts. Wright will be turning his attention to something called the “Stupid Fun Club,” a think tank of sorts which he started in 2001. The club (partially owned by EA, curiously) will be a breeding ground for wild experiments, what Wright himself described as “new possibilities that are emerging from this sublime chaos and create new forms of entertainment on a variety of platforms....
