Poot returns to the show this week, and we go on our little Chinatown Wars rant.  Our big discussion for this week is why we play video games. Is there one big reason why we all play video games? If they accomplish what they aim for, should they be criticized?  This and much more in the discussion.  Industry news has some interesting bits in it as well, so be sure to check out the shownotes!!!
