This episode is a chaotic ride from the start, as Derek's tech issues sabotage the intro and spoil Daredevil. The hosts then dive into a heated debate: who wins, Daredevil or Aquaman in a pitch-black aquarium? They also explore the unsettling future of gaming with EA's in-game ads and Xbox's "play now, pay later" scheme, and uncover how Pokémon Go can leak military intelligence. Plus, a deep dive into Japanese gaming preferences and some unexpected "Whatcha Playing" revelations, including a pilot who hates planes.
