Charkie, Johnny, and Sid talk about the wildly different games they’ve been playing, EA fumbling a sureshot licensed game, Game Informer granting a huge boon to gaming history, Randy Pitchford’s continued efforts to crater his reputation, and some long-awaited good news for ZeniMax employees.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Apologies for the delay on this one. Sid’s end-of-quarter classwork slowed down the editing process, and then the upload was delayed because Cass didn’t get a notification when the final edit was ready.
