Tim's with us again. We give you a look inside his gaming manor while chatting about game branding and localization, game dev jam sessions, why you're more nostalgic for easy games, and the apparent fact that Japanese gamers actually enjoy frustration.

Tim Winsky cohosts. He describes the subtleties that made The Legend of Zelda II and Bubble Bobble two of the greatest games of their time.

Ara's very excited about finding a cheap game. Very excited. We spend most of the show talking about Ouya and freemium game design.

Milk, PSN, and Spelunky

Alon and Ara try to enjoy Steel Battalion, they're thrilled by a recent law passed in the EU but scared of the inevitable pre-emptive backlash in the US, and they hear an argument for Diablo 3's persistent internet connection.

Why we don't like Dragon's Dogma, what we think game designers should do after realizing most people won't make it to the end of their entire games, and how we feel about DRM in a game we've never played.

Ara continues his efforts to become the world's fastest virtual driver. While not playing GT Academy, he and Alon visited Dave and Buster's. One game was particularly awesome, even if it did break their hands. They also concern themselves with the devolving nature of gameplay in arcade games.

E3 wrapup - How were the press conferences, how awesome is the Wii U, will boobs entice you to play a game, what defines the gaming experience??? All these questions, and maybe some answers, await you. Also, how Alon almost died.

Eric, Molly, Cory, and Alon go over what they've learned at E3 so far. Mostly, that there's nothing impressive at the show and that everything Ubisoft puts out looks the same. There's also concern that Nintendo has destroyed the dreams of the younger generation by allowing the Wii to suck too much.

We Journey into discussion of artistic games that fail to offer artistic experiences. We also lend an opinion of Trials Evolution, EA's move to help indie devs, and the inevitable fate of 38 Studios.
