Welcome to CTRL PAD! Home to the CTRL PAD Show; LOCAL COOP; and NEWS GAME PLUS! In the CTRL PAD Show, each week, Jeff Cannata, Nikole Zivalich, Christian Spicer, and Alex Berg (plus the occasional awesome guest) cover select hot topics in the video game world, while bringing in community viewpoints, opinions, and conversations. In LOCAL COOP, Alex Berg and Christian Spicer (and sometimes some other fun, cool people) examine larger concepts in and around video games and the broader world in which we live. And NEWS GAME PLUS is a video game news show that hits on the biggest news in gaming, and takes a deeper look at one of the biggest issues, themes, and talking points in and around the world of video games.
