We lose Jon to yet another convention since PAX is this weekend. Sean and Paul are left to reminisce. Paul goes back to DayZ and gets freaked out from Five Nights at Freddy's. Sean continues his necrodancing, gets quite confused with Invisible Inc and really enjoys Hitman Go.

This week Sean's been playing more Crypt of the Necrodancer, the third Kentucky Route Zero episode and Tiny Wings got updated.

It's Wacky Wednesdays on this episode and we make sure that it is a success. Jon has been playing Broforce, Super Time Force and Waluigi of Time. Paul isn't really playing anything. Sean finishes Strider, falls in love with Crypt of the Necrodancer and has mixed feelings on Rymdkapsel. Gamescom is happening this week so there is just a ton of news in general.

This week, Sean plays the "I moved and have no internet game" so Paul got to play the "nothing is working right game" while Jon resumed his "I feel sleepy" game. In reality, Jon revisits some gems of the past such as Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie, Contra: The Alien Wars and Time Slip. Paul, in the meantime, enjoys some Abyss Odyssey, starts a descent into madness trying a Dark Souls 2 "...

We tried to get Jon on this episode but he continues his convention traveling with stop number two. In the mean time both Sean and Paul finish Shovel Knight.

It's all about Goosebumps on this episode. Choose. Your. Own. Adventure. We've all been playing Shovel Knight. Jon continues to prepare for his upcoming tournaments, Paul dislikes the end of Murdered and Sean LOVED the end of Super Time Force. The Ouya is still a thing in the news and we talk about women in eSports for a while.

We're all back and running down what happened at the big event. We discuss all the major press conferences and everything that was shown within. Jon also tells many a tale of his time at the convention and we end off on a bit of a sad note.

It's the day before E3 and we assemble to make our predictions! We also discuss more Mario Kart 8, Transistor and Jon dives into Tomadachi Life. News has rumors of Mario Maker, possible Last Guardian cancellations, the WiiU gets its first DS Virtual Console release in Japan and Gaijin Games changes its name.

Sean is back and has many a game to talk about, including the latest Kirby, Mario Kart and Mario Golf installments. Nathan meanwhile is one again enamored by the devious redundancy of Work Time Fun and is apparently not rhythmic enough to enjoy Parappa the Rapper. Maybe he's just gotta believe? Newswise, Microsoft is changing up a bunch of things with Xbox Live, Halo is coming back in a big way an...

Just Nathan this week as Jon travels to the US to chill with Chugga and Sean travels light to his hometown. Rusty's Real Deal Baseball and Work Time Fun make up the games section this week, then a few news stories concerning Nintendo, some Microsoft rumors that may as well just be considered facts and EA's decision to stop supporting a bunch of old multi-player games (get those final Battlefield s...

Two man show this week with Jon and Nathan. Jon gives us the run-down on a trial run of the zombie apocalypse before jumping in on Rusty's Real Deal Baseball, Picross e4 and the latest from the team that brought you Far Cry 3, a JRPG with poetic dialogue called Child of Light (who'da guessed it?). Nathan FINALLY played that copy of Pikmin 3 he borrowed from Sean last year and started raging with t...

There's a bit of a lull nowadays so we start working out way through the backlog. Sean is continuing with Hearthstone and finally finishes Broken Age. Jon played Gears of War for some reason but was also smart, and cool, enough to play Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Nathan is getting real annoyed with Mortal Kombat. All those Atari E.T. cartridges were dug up over the weekend and that's weird. We als...

Nathan returns to us to talk about finishing up Chrono Trigger. Jon has been trying out Pokemon Battle Trozei and returns to Crosswords Plus while Sean finishes up with Yoshi's New Island and gets into Hearthstone on the iPad. There really isn't much news; a couple leaks. We take a lot of questions!
