No, that’s not a clever pun. For whatever reason, the opening intro is missing from the file. It’s just not there – perhaps the recording software was late in starting.

Regardless, the crew discuss the Palmer Luckey scandal before moving head with a new segment, just to discuss random stuff they’ve seen that isn’t on the news docket.

Speaking of which, the news includes:

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is happening, original game free on PC next week
The Witcher 3 success “marred my books,” claims author
October has arrived, and the Nintendo NX has not
Fallout 4/Skyrim mods are back on for PlayStation 4, with one big caveat
