Let's talk about annoying psychiatrists, 90s pop divas, and the usual run of movie and TV reviews. Then let's debate whether or not your government would bother lying to you...

Things get back to normal, for better or worse, and we talk about some games! And also how to be a giant creep!

Coffee & Cider (but Hold the Coffee) LIVE from STAPLE 2016! Rich takes a show off so that we can present the "Webcomics" panel from STAPLE 2016 in full, with Very Special Guests Spike Trotman, Dave Mercier, Matt Melvin, and our very own Danielle "Cider" Corsetto! Additional panels from STAPLE 2016 will appear in the Artist Edition feed.

Last week, you got to hear some of the awesome discussions we had during GDC and C2E2 2016. This week, we wax poetic about all the people we met, the games we played, and the fun we had. We also talk about the price of Playstation VR and Xbox/Sony cross platform possibilities.

John Roderick returns to Systematic to talk about the mental health of politicians, the importance of song lyrics, and outer space, among other topics.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we can't bring you the episode we had planned. However, we can bring you, um, this!

This week we bring you a very special show. All three members of the crew are on location: Kahlief & Shareef are hanging out in lovely San Francisco at GDC, while Cicero is out in the wilds of C2E2 in Chicago. Get ready for lots of awesome conversations this week with developers, comic artists, and much more!

Jessica takes shameless advantage of Anna's distraction as she prepares to leave for GDC to complain at length about an almost-great game. And has Amazon set up a charity for game devs?

We take Brookago to school this week, and you’ll learn a little bit more than you may have wanted to know about your hosts. We also dive deep into the first AAA game to be released this year, Tom Clancy’s The Division. A game this big needed a an extra voice to make sense of it all so we brought in our friend and host of The Show Radio, Andrew Alliance! We do our best to break down the highs and lows of our early impressions of this giant game and round the show out by giving you our tips on how to become the best Division agent you can be. If you’ve been on the fence about the game or just curious about it, pull up a seat, open your notebook and sit up straight. Class is in session!

Mandy Fabian and Paul Witten, writers, directors, and creators of the upcoming web series "Dropping The Soap" join Brett to talk about screenwriting, directing, and all the fun that surrounds creating for film and television.
