-- (Sound quality problems from either editing or our equipment; apologies.) Where Dave and Carlos talk about some Nintendo announcements (pre-"Year of Luigi" stuff; this was recorded before that), the awesome-looking upcoming 2D Zelda/Brave Fencer Musashi-esque game Cryamore, new systems from Microsoft/Sony/Valve, how Nintendo's Virtual Console is a fucking ripoff, how Halo 4's fucking QTE FINAL BOSS is a fucking QTE FINAL BOSS, and "exploiting" in games! 2 Fat, 2 Furious!
Dave and Carlos tackle not only first person shooters, but third person shooters, second person shooters (yes they exist), and all manner of corridor shooter, from Wolfenstein 3D to Halo 4 and everything in between.
