Super Joystiq Podcast 045: Ouya, FarCry 3 Blood Dragon, Microsoft's Twitter trouble
This week's Super Joystiq Podcast is incapable of reading, and thus, has no idea when to "Press A."
The Ouya doesn't hit store shelves until June 4, but Richard is kicking off the games segment with some early thoughts on the Kickstarter edition of the forthcoming Android console. Also on tap, Ludwig talks Guacamelee, Jess hits Battleblock Theater, and the almost-too-weird-to-be-true FarCry 3: Blood Dragon gets some time.
In news, Sinan covers the FarCry 3 standalone in more detail, and then it's on to the almost weekly layoffs section-- this week: EA Montreal. Alexander and Jordan also discuss the latest news regarding SimCity, Project Eternity, and the recent Microsoft Twitter drama.
Be sure to catch the games segment recorded live on YouTube every Thursday. This week's edition can be seen on the Joystiq YouTube page, and after the break.

Details about each segment, and video of the games segment are available after the break.
