This week’s a lot of discussion of comic book movies, including the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War”. In fact, it dominates most of the podcast. However, there is some discussion of video games.

- Free money suddenly showed up in some people’s Steam accounts
- “Obviously there’s going to be another Borderlands,” says Gearbox
- Rumor: Nintendo NX to be officially revealed this or next week
