Tom and Brad dive into Vegas for the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.

We take a break from our normal format to truly bring a show about nothing; a banter-style test run of a podcast within a podcast. Instead of talking about videogames, it's everything and anything else in one big bowl of spaghetti. Spoiler warning for Game of Thrones from 1:03:45 onward. If you haven't read into DWD, you might have a bad time.

We shoot the shit on E3 2013 and make boneheaded predictions regarding the futures of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo but with strong conviction behind our utterances. We had fun doing it at least. Music: Killer Instinct - TJ Combo Theme Console Wars - 1990

We're still slogging through the archives, and finally polished this gem to an acceptable level of mediocrity (yes, a certain someone botched their audio.) For the first half we discuss and somewhat spoil Iron Man 3 (skip to 23:40 to avoid) and Star Trek: Into Darkness (skip to 38:40 to avoid). Second half focuses on the Xbox One; what we think of the DRM policies and if Microsoft is making the right gamble. Also, because of our tardiness, it includes an updated segment where we totally disregard everything we determined from the previous segment. Awesome. Music: Bibio - Light Seep Ilkae - Vim Jet Set Radio Future - Concept of Love

In classic fashion, an episode recorded months ago sees the light of day and just in time for the PS4's impending release. We try and bury our biases to have a discussion on the impact the PS4 will have for Sony. Music: Kido Yoji - Won't You Come Again (Instrumental) Daft Punk - Giorgio By Moroder Jaga Jazzist - Animal Chin

They said this episode would never come out. Whoever THEY are, they were almost right. Now that the show is actually salvaged, listen to the best Christmas show ever released in July. The Wii U is dissected, and Christmas stories are divulged. Happy Kwanzaa. Music: Super Mario World 'Super Mario's Sleigh Ride' [Map 2, Overworld BGM] Sonic 3D (Saturn) Music: Diamond Dust Zone Act 1 Christmas NiGHTS: Christmas in Nightopia

Brad and Tom are back to discuss the arcade scene of the present, how you can never go back home, and the rules of "Jinx". They try their best to not sound like crotchety, old men, but it manages to seep out anyway. However, much praise is lavished upon the few standouts (namely Galloping Ghost Arcade), while the rest are commended (or RAVAGED) for their particular qualities. Music: Super Street Fighter IV - Character Select Arcade Ambience 1992 Dave and Buster's Commercial Game Works Commercial

Delving into the deep, dark pits of their memories, Brad and Tom drudge up several experiences and reasons why arcades were the "bomb diggity" in the 90's. In fact, they got so worked up, they ran out of time to talk about arcades in the present! Oh well - there's always next week... Music: Street Fighter II - Character Select Arcade Ambience 1992 Pac-Man Theme (REMIX)

For lucky episode 7, cohorts Tom and Brad delve into the merits of the LAN experience and why it's still worth it to lug your computer to your friend's basement. This would have been a convincing argument, except we only use our crappy personal experiences as evidence. Oops. Music: Sonic Unleashed: Apotos - Windmill Isle Day Streets of Rage 'Drop and Roll' OC ReMix [Fighting in the Street]

We're not dead! I mean...emotionally sure, but we managed to haul our husks back for another show. There isn't a single topic as we usually do, but we dabble with a GOTY-type discussion. It quickly and frequently gets side-tracked, but that's what we're all here for anyway. Relax and enjoy. Music: Sonic CD (JP) - Palmtree Panic (Present) Sonic CD (JP) - Collision Chaos (Good Future)
