                                    The whole gang is back this week, and we've got a two-for-one special in the topic department.  Not only are we talking about Virtual Reality, but we also discussed a rant by Robby on the character Quiet from Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain. It led to some really interesting discussions about the oversexualization of women in video games.  Thankfully, it doesn't get too heated, but we definitely have some differing opinions.

                                    This week marks the 20th anniversary of the North American launch of the original Playstation.  The core group, which includes Scott, Josh, Zach, and Robby, shares their memories of the now three-generations-old console and how it left an impact on them as well as the industry.  News is a bit light this week, but we still talked about the preorder complaints and Pikmin 4.  We also shared our experiences with "Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain" and "Mad Max".
