It seems like it’s been a month since we talked about industry news. It’s time to get caught up with what exactly happened in October and figure out if any of the stories will have a long term effect on the industry. Of course though, before we can do that we need to talk about Threesomes. Ethan continues to put his loved ones through bad movies and we can’t help but wonder when his wife will turn on him. Our On the Spot Question this week is “Which hyped game do you not care about at all?” where Justin revels in avoiding Call of Duty: Black Ops completely. After scanning the headlines, Cole relives our arcade glory days, and Christina tries to fight map pack pricing even though she can’t fight Halo. Cole and Justin wrap things up with the odder aspects Kinect. Our advice, beware of our YouTube page for the near future.
