So, thanks to an untimely computer breakdown, last week’s episode could not be run in a timely manner. So, this double-length episode features an off-the-cuff discussion of videogames with no notes, with last week’s episode tacked on. There’s not much editing in the episode, due to the fact Jonah has to rush off to Boston to attend PAX East over the weekend.
Last week’s “news” includes:
- Middle Earth: Shadow of War leaked then announced
- Microsoft announces Netflix-style gaming for the Xbox One
- Videogame industry lobbying to maintain “repair monopoly”
- Microsoft plans to bring mixed reality to the Xbox in 2018
All this and some Listener Feedback

Circuit City seems to have a problem paying their bills or so it seems, as Sony stopped their shipments mid-transit and returned them before hitting the distributors command center. In this unfavorable market climate, with the holidays around the corner, it seems bad for Circuit City to lose the trust of Sony.
