  1. Nice to have a three man podcast again ๐Ÿ™‚

    @Occulous Rift: This is the first I’m hearing it called an absolute joke after seeing constant praise for this device.

    I agree with the bring on the Holodeck sentiment, I’m sure society will fall apart when everyone decides to live in one.

    @Simcity offline: This feels a bit like too little too late for me.

    @QOTW: I once bought a Neo-geo and ten games for 20 dollars from a pawn shop. The games were a soccor side scrolling platformer, a space game that didn’t look better than Star Fox, a mystery game with very cheap animation, a doom clone and DragonSlayer. Aside from Dragonslayer most of these games looked like they could have been done on the other consoles at the time. We eneded up using it as a media player, funny how a out of date console can play CD’s while the Ps4 and Xbone can’t.

This week’s episode is three hours long — Jonah’s mic was moving in the first minute, but after that, it’s ok. There’s no news, just discussion of each of the press briefings that preceded E3, as well as some of the games that Jonah got hands-on time with. TJ is sad that he didn’t get to attend this year, while Scott is getting E3 swag.
