Pens & Pixels Popcast

No newsy news this week due to your hosts, Cal and Mike, being at the Ottawa Capital Games Expo.

Instead it's another round of 5 Minute Warning where they ponder the answers to questions about gaming as we get older, do World of Warcraft style MMOs have a future? What movie sequels would we like to see? How many games have an actual great story? Has an art style ever stopped you from playing a game? and many more.
