Brian and Corey are joined this week by COIN-OP TV CEO and EIC Robert Welkner to discuss his thoughts and impressions of his 18th or 19th E3.  We discuss the crowds, the publishers, the games, and everything Rob touched and saw during last week's excitement.

That's right, we did it, folks.  All of E3 2018 shrunk down into just 73 minutes. Somebody inform the media.  Ok, there's a lot missing and there was no way we could have done it all, but Brian and Corey put on the big boy pants to bring you as much as we could fit in this extra large episode.

After all the stars misaligning to make this hiatus a reality, Brian and Corey are back at it with the full range of emotions including joy, sadness, and a little anger.  We cover some news of the week, games we've been playing, and an interesting discussion on the keyboard and mouse versus controller debate. Also, #cancersucks

Brian and Corey are discussing Radical Heights (you won't be surprised about each of their feelings) and whether or not it will have an impact.  We also talk about games we returned to enjoy after not originally liking them and whether or not the new Steam privacy settings will have any impact.  A little transparency shows that this week's title comes from the pre-show when Brian kept calling Radical Heights, Radiant Dreams.

Brian and Corey have topics this week!  AKA, there were some games to talk about.  The guys delve deep into A Way Out and just how unique it is.  They also talk about PUBG and its clones, Far Cry 5, and how there are certain movie reboots Brian can't handle.

The only link this week is the article on PUBG and its Chinese rip-off
