e026: Somber Reality

-- Dave and Carlos talk about violence and guns in games, media, and society in the wake of the terrible Newtown tragedy that occurred earlier this month. This is a (mostly) serious episode, and those who feel uncomfortable hearing us talking about this tragic incident are advised to listen to something else. Those who stay: we invite you to comment and discuss this with both us and those closest to you, as discussion is a crucial thing.

-- An angry Carlos and a slightly less angry Dave talk about sad-ass game reviews. Lots of talk about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and dumb, dumb Smash Bros. fanboys -- and reviewers (see, tied it in there) -- dismissing a great game because it doesn't have enough "flair" or Mario isn't in it or some shit. Dave and Carlos talk about what makes for good reviews, with Dave making a case for video reviews over text as the new norm. They also talk at length about censorship in games. Thoughtful and angry stuff!
