PRODUCER'S NOTE: I apologize for the lack of sound quality in this week's episode. Our microphone was experiencing some technical difficulties that were unrealized until editing. I tried to fix as much as I could in post-production. We'll be better next week -- I promise.

We celebrate Zelda in this week's show! Come take a trip down memory lane as we relive our favorite Legend of Zelda experiences before diving into the newest entry: A Link Between Worlds. Also on the show, Adam finished BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea -- Ep. 1, Stephen finished Knack while John-Michael starts it, Rachel gets her Cookie Clicker on and Renee gets ready for the Elite 4 in Pokemon X. We also discuss Tiny Death Star, Killer Instinct (SNES), Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning, NBA Live 14 and how terrible microtransactions in games are. We round out the show with desert island games in emails. If you don't like Zelda, just skip ahead to around the 44:40 mark -- but c'mon, who doesn't like Zelda???

Our biggest show of the year! On this week's episode, we start playing what's probably the best game on Wii U this year: Super Mario 3D World (meow). Adam and Stephen finally get their hands on their PlayStation 4s and discuss Knack, Need for Speed: Rivals and The Playroom. Renee gets further in Pokemon X while Rachel takes a trip down memory lane with a handful of Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo games. The show rounds out with some great discussion from email questions. Buckle up -- the next generation is here!

P.S. Here is the link to the game Stephen talks about in his Special Stage: http://hymnofthesands.weebly.com/
