On this week’s episode of the TouchArcade show, we start things off with a bang with our obsession with jousting, Medieval Times, and natural horsemanship enthusiast Mike Meade. We wallow in our failed keynote predictions, discuss what color iPhones we’re going to get, and discuss the latest and greatest games to hit the App Store. Oh, and we dip into some PlayStation Vita TV and Surface 2 chat, which is always fun.
As always, you can listen to the embedded podcast below or subscribe to us either on iTunes or the Microsoft-y equivalent. We appreciate reviews on both, so, if you’ve got some time be sure to plug one in.

Thanks for this great post that you share to us
Thanks for sharing
Like the continuing presence of Mike Meade!
I think Mike is a canonical co-host at this point, which is great.
I'm not sure who it is (but since Mike's newer, and since it started happening when he came on, I'll blame him), but I keep hearing Skype sounds every once in a while during the show.
I thought it was just me and kept frantically checking my Skype while listening to the shows.
I don't think we can blame the Internet for reacting to Microsoft so negatively this year. They came out with a set of commandments giving no benefits to their online "rules" and so the average gamer just saw them as rules.
If Microsoft had shown some leadership and clarity and not made such a clusterfuck of things the Internet would have been better equipped with information as to why Microsoft wanted to implement their original online philosophy.
Damn it NimbleBit! Here goes my weekends again XD
Great!Looking forward to this!!!
Too much.
Last week was Puppeteer and Killzone Merc.
This week I've got GTA V, iOS 7, and Windwaker HD, and then this next week.
I have no life to speak of and still don't have enough time to play all this.
You can tell its fall again. There's a ton of games out every week.
Chu- chu ... Can't wait :)
10 days?! Talk about taking the slow train...
This is special!
I've been waiting for this!
Another NimbleBit game in my collection :)
My body is ready.
I can't wait to set up my US to Europe routes over the Atlantic! OH MY GAWD!!!
I am more excited for this than i am gta 5
While I won't go that far and say I'm more excited about Pocket Trains than GTA V, I'm definitely more excited about Pocket Trains than I was with Pocket Planes. While I like planes, I absolutely love trains.
Just in case you have anything running Android at hand, the game just hit Play Store: https://play.google.com/sto...
So excited, this could be a game of year nominee if it plays out good!
Deleted it. I hate push notifications that run even when the app is killed and you supposedly have them turned off. Screw that
Can you get push notifications for this game? Mine doesn't seem to give me the option
