Brian and Corey are talking Project Scorpio's specifications, our expectations, and our predictions for the upcoming console.  Obviously, it's not a podcast if the two gentlemen do not disagree on something as Corey's continues his #PCMasterRace theme and Brian takes the moral high ground.  

We talk specifically about two videos from Digital Foundry.  

• 15-minute video on the Scorpio
• 9-minute video on Forza and Turn 10

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Brian & Corey had nothing specific to talk about on the podcast, and then it's 40 minutes later?  That's pretty much this show.  Corey did finally announce his new joint, a MapleStory podcast called Purple Monkeys: A Maple Story.  We also talk the new WoW patch and Yooka-Laylee reviews.

Brian and Corey are back to flying duo on this slow news week. So slow that they're talking about the hype surrounding a picture that teased a teaser that teased a full trailer.  Seriously, that happened in this episode.  We also talked about the StarCraft Remastered announcement, Quake Champions Beta and playing old school Quake in your browser.
