0:00:38 - The "PlayStation 4.5" rumor, and how the 32X never stopped being a bad idea. Carlos craps on VR and 3D s'more, while Dave defends them, though even Dave fears what David Cage would do with them...
0:08:34 - Is E3 still relevant?
0:12:35 - Windows 10 is showing up as a required update in Windows 7 and 8, and if you have your system set to automatically apply critical updates, it's getting updated. We weigh in.
0:16:47 - Street Fighter V, Pokken, and rage quitting. Also, IGN's idiotic review of Pokken...
0:20:26 - Cross-platform online gaming. Microsoft's big announcement, and what it could mean.

0:28:29 - Apple vs. the United States Department of Justice.
0:33:07 - Nintendo's excuse for why the 3DS can't play SNES Virtual Console games. A lame excuse.
0:37:19 - YouTube's Subscriptions view no longer shows you all videos; you have to manually load up the pages of each account you follow to make sure you're not missing anything. Dave has a theory about this.
0:39:19 - Edmonton, as represented in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Also, speaking of obscure anime references, Argentosoma comes up. Jesus.
0:45:57 - Voicemail! Chris Weston (http://twitter.com/gameNpals) asks us about Lionhead and Fable and why Microsoft doesn't ever seem to learn...

0:06:41 - The TV & Movies Section That Keeps TV & Movies Out of the Games Section
- Justice League: God and Monsters. Our thoughts on both the shorts and the feature itself. Could it get a sequel, and should it? If so, what new interpretations of DC characters would you want to see?

- I'm the Main Character of a Harem Manga, but I'm Gay So Every Day is Hell For Me (by Ryosuke Kataoka): http://bit.ly/1TOr6oN (slightly NSFW). Discuss the brilliance.
- Thought experiment: we give anime the Justice League: Gods and Monsters treatment. Its villains as heroes, edgier heroes that are still heroic, etc.

-- (Aware of sound quality issues; apologies.) Surrender or die in obscurity? We think not, good sir! For if we die, how can we talk about obscure fighting games, Wreck-It Ralph, Carlos' experience at Canada Cup 2012, what stupid gamers consider "sexist," freakin' STAR WARS EPISODE 7 (!), and why G Gundam is the only good Gundam series? We'd have to be raised as undead bitches! ... I've just been told that it's "liches." What a stupid fucking word.
