Today we didn't really have any kind of plans. But that's where things get interesting. We discuss Microsofts' plans to bring PC and Xbox closer together, updates to the system. Andrew screws up the recording and things go everywhere. Oh, and check out two game app recommendations. And lastly, get Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds on HumbleBundle!

It's a crazy day on Slow Day Radio.

(NOTE: This is a family-friendly podcast, however, not all of the movies and games discussed today are family-friendly.)

It's time to examine the silver screen. With upcoming video game movie titles like Warcraft, Assassin's Creed and Ratchet & Clank, we thought it'd be fun to ask some prominent figures in gaming what their favorite video game movies are. We hear from Ubisoft, the director of Warcraft, the writer for Tomb Raider and more! Also, can there ever be a GREAT video game movie?
