DirectX creator and former CEO of WildTangent Alex St. John penned an editorial criticizing video game developers for wanting fair wages and normal working hours. Seriously? (WARNING: There is a single curse word in this segment, but it's totally warranted.)

Microsoft is ending production of the Xbox 360 after 10 years.

Then we take calls about VR (HTC vs. Oculus), I Am Setsune, our memories of the Xbox 360, and why Lost Odyssey really needs to become backwards compatible.

This is the all Virtual Reality episode (some) people have been waiting for - the HTC Vive is here, and I go through the setup, hardware, and experiences that are currently available, including The Lab, Audioshield, Job Simulator, Apollo 11 VR, and Tilt Brush.

Plus, a few weeks ago, I was on a Podcaster Roundtable panel at the Vintage Computer Festival Southeast 4.0, and the panel has now been posted by the Floppy Days Vintage Computing Podcast.

The Oculus Rift started shipping, and then stopped due to component delays.

The HTC Vive had a lot of credit card cancellations, and people are worried. (Turns out this week has been extra bad for Vive shipping...)

I used the DK2 of the Oculus Rift on the new software and drivers, and it feels like a new piece of hardware...

Nintendo had some controversy, but silenced it the very next day with the launch of Miitomo, their first mobile phone app.

LEGO Dimensions' final wave of physical DLC has been released, and the Midway Arcade "Gamer Kid" pack is actually worth the investment.

Playstation VR sold out in seven minutes, and Sony relented and allowed people to preorder the base system this coming week.

A few leaks about Nintendo have been floating about - one has been debunked, the other is most likely also fake.

Then we take calls about Pokken Tournament and the leaks.

Sony announced the PlayStation VR release date and price, and made a curious decision regarding preorders that shafted some early adopters. (Note: after recording this episode, Sony reversed course.)

There are rumors of a new iteration of the PS4 to be able to handle both VR and 4K gaming.

Microsoft listened to consumers and are now allowing Xbox Live gamers to play with, or against, people on other online gaming networks, such as PSN.

But first, I got to try the HTC Vive Pre and I talk about why it's probably going to be the best VR hardware to come out in 2016, and why it's the most expensive.

No Man's Sky has a release date and a price, and some people are upset about the $60 price tag for an indie game by 10 people.

Microsoft has announced their Universal Windows Apps, and how they will be tied to the Windows 10 store. This has upsides (shared friends lists and achievements) and downsides (Windows 10 Store required, no more Steam for PC games)

Then we take calls about PC gaming as well as people being outraged.
