Today we blast into the past on the laser-lined coattails of our special guest, video game historian and Nintendo super-fan Ed Soper!  We also go in deep for the what-weâ€re playing-segment, revisiting Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Guitar Hero, and we cram in a little more exposition on DotA2 as a springboard into Smite, a new Action/MMO-style MOBA from the team that brought you Tribes: Ascend, all before going deep on the current state of gorgeous/addictive side-scrollers in the modern age.

Iâ€m not saying that listening will cure Ebola, but *not* listening certainly wonâ€t!
