History is happening all around us! This week we chronicle the recent 3DS Nintendo Direct, NPD's acquisition of EEDAR, some new adventure game additions to Steam and Humble, and Super Mario nightmare fuel. We also discuss the (few) new releases of the week, and we discuss "retail therapy" in video games, and the thrill of nabbing a great deal! Intro: "Merc" - EVE Online, by Jón Hallur Haraldsson. Outro: "Erana's Staff - Soundtrack Version" - Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, by Aubrey Hodges
