It's a catfight on GameHounds. Edie's mouth gets the better of her, but that doesn't mean the team doesn't cover news, including PS4 emulation rumors and Sony's financial woes. Games reviewed include Sims Medieval, Assassin's Creed Black Flag double-XP weekend, and Stanley Parable.

The GameHounds staff needs another cup of coffee. Badly. But they still manage to hit reviews of Don't Starve Console Edition, Assassin's Creed Black Flag multiplayer, and a bunch of news.

Okay, just in case it seems weird and you've noticed, we got off on our numbering for a few weeks. The number on the show notes is correct. The number we quote on the show is wrong. Don't worry, all the video-game goodness, including news and reviews, is the same.

Sony announces Playstation Now streaming service. What does that mean to you? What will it look like? How much will it cost. None of that is known, but it gives the GameHounds staff a lot to talk about, in addition to other news of the week.
