          On this week's episode of Squad Up! - the squad invites Kody back to the show to defend Microsoft's honor. Were we too harsh in critiquing the Xbox consoles in our last episode? Can Kody make a valid argument in Microsoft's favor? Does our title have enough alliteration? These mysteries and more, solved with this download.

            On this week's episode of Squad Up!, the squad goes to war against the Xbox. Did Microsoft make too many irreversible mistakes at 2013's E3? Do they have enough time to bounce back before the next generation of consoles arrive? Have a listen and then leave a comment on our social media with your thoughts!

                This week on Squad Up! - tap your mana, set monsters to defense position, and believe in the heart of the cards; we're saluting all card games (but mostly Hearthstone)! Join hosts Eduardo, Peach3z, and dancing fool Patrick in a thorough debate regarding the future of trading card games. Are electronic TCGs destined to eliminate the hobby IRL? What will it take for a company to dethrone Hearthstone as most popular online TCG? Will your lovable hosts always agree on every topic? Pull up a chair, we'll deal you in.
