Join the gang this week as we take a look at the DLC phenomenon that has manifested (and plagued) this generation of gaming. Access to this week's topic discussion is also now available for the low low price of $14.99! So get those credit cards out and let's do some microtransacting!

But first, Kyle, David, and Penrod set sail on the MOBA boat. We have a legit League of Legends hour, Penrod looks on disapprovingly as Kyle plays DOTA, and everyone is in disbelief that we never knew how amazing Awesomenauts is. Plus Aaron tries to survive in Metro 2033, and we all try to find the challenge in Crysis 2. Thanks for the money!
