Pinball: We talk about Stern Pinball shipping Bond Pro models and soon ending their Home edition runs of Jurassic Park and Star Wars. We discuss CGC's CCrLE finally shipping. We spend a brief about of time on the TWIPYs,and then we talk about the new third-party game Drained for the P3. We spend a lot of time answering a listener email on whether we'd pick the Pro or the Premium model of various in-production Stern games. We conclude with Rumor Corner.

Video Games: This segment covers some insider trading arrests tied to Square Enix, Blizzard partially reversing course on their SMS verification rules, Pokémon fallout, and impressive sales for

God of War Ragnarök.

Note: The virtual mixing board lost connection to Tony's microphone during the TWIPY discussion and so he will be quiet during that part (as you can only hear what Dennis's mic picked up from him). This issue was caught and fixed after that segment but left in as most of the discussion was from Dennis anyway.
