We're joined by a special guest this week: Vernon Shaw - the creator of Hot Pepper Gaming. He tells us about his time with Borderlands 2 and grinding on hamburger patties. Sean has been addicted to Risk of Rain all week. Nathan is playing a whole bunch of stuff in search of his next obsession and Jon is warming up to Pokemon Y.

News sees Nintendo and not doing so well sales-wise and the "Nintendo Force" magazine is already looking to Kickstarter for help. Canadian retailers raise the price of video games while Steam introduces more currencies into its marketplace. Finally, Sony is having a pretty great sale on a range of titles from recent years.
