Henry was on a remote and Max bailed, so Tom Schreier and John Carson were forced to fend for themselves. Tom brought in his friend and former editor at the Santa Clara University newspaper, Nick Pinkerton this week.

Pinkerton is the head of the South Bay Button Mashers, a gaming group in the San Francisco Bay Area. He tells us about his organization and dishes on the latest news in the video game world. Be sure to follow him and his group on Twitter: @sbButtonMashersAlso, be sure to follow the show (@pgshow) and Cold Omaha (@ColdOmahaMN) as well as Tom (@tschreier3) and John (@johncarson). And, as always, game on!
