On the plus side, Donald can put his LA money into a new podcasting setup.Download (Time: 3:21:31)
Following a very rough couple of weeks, it takes a nice, long episode of Nintendo Free Radio to let the crew decompress. Donald, having run out of fks to give about
Langrisser Re:Incarnation -TENSEI- (
his review runs down the crimes) in
New Business, hits the
Sega 3D Classics Collection in search of a good title and actually succeeded. Stephen has some brief mentions including
Overwatch's beta, but his big hits are
Ratchet and Clank plus
Star Fox Zero (+a little bit of Guard from Donald). Austen, nonplussed, completes a long-standing objective before hitting the latest Vita exclusive (for now)
Severed and dives into
The Magic Circle... with interesting results.
Whatcha Watchin opens with a look at life as number 2 with HBO's political comedy
Veep, while Stephen takes the law into his own hands with
Daredevil (S2). Austen ends up completing a rare tri(de)fecta before running into
Tokyo Ghoul and taking in the
Ratchet and Clank movie (based on the game based on the movie) and based on box office receipts, he's about the only one.
The
Feature discussion was going to talk Zelda, but then Nintendo went and lost their damn minds again. Telling E3 where to go (aside from Zelda)? Launching the NX in 2017? Putting Fire Emblem on mobile? A gobsmacked team tries to break it all down. The
Mushrooms include the return of the popular "Fun with Preorders" segment, a word about fetishizing crunch, and words of praise for sales.
We'll have more to talk about in a couple of weeks, but send us some questions, comments, complaints, etc by responding below,
