Jeff and Christian welcome France's own Patrick Beja to the show, from Pixels, the Instance, and Daily Tech News Show podcasts, to talk about Hearthstone potentially getting co-op, MGSV's early hype, the Taken King's revamped XP system, Mario Maker's best per-release levels, and more.

For the Playlist, Patrick has been playing lots of Destiny and Hearthstone, Christian tried the COD: Black Ops 3 beta, Donkey Kong Country Returns on 3DS, PacMan 256, and Horizon Chase iOS, and Jeff got through his vacation with Loot & Legends. Plus, Jeff describes a unique European experience called Carrières de Lumières.

In Tabletop Time, Patrick laughed through The Contender, Christian's family loves The Masquerade, and Jeff likes the changes to Cash n' Guns Second Edition.
