Announcement!: I’m getting ready to launch a new podcast! It will be a once weekly video game podcast where I just ramble and babble about video games, the industry, and games I’m playing. It won’t be replacing this show, but it will allow this show to be more focused on the news aspect of the video game industry while my other show focuses on whatever else my ADD addled brain wants to focus on insofar as video games are concerned. Stay tuned! Find more updates on Twitter at jessecbirch when they arise.
