The lovely Sil from Girls Gone WoW is visiting us once again on the program to talk about the latest games she has been playing, which include WoW as well as The Secret World and Final Fantasy XIV. We’re lucky to have not just one but two guests tonight as Dr. Ken from the Starboard Power Coupling podcast joins us again, to challenge Rob on a few things he said about Elder Scrolls Online last week. Uh-oh! Also, Diablo 3 and Path of Exile are going head to head with big patches that everyone is talking about. How are we going to choose between all this awesomeness in our click click loot loot games??

Tonight starts off with anger and sadness. Youtube has gone too far with Content ID and Travis wants to know what else he has to do in order to make the Google Gods happy.(Warning: EXTREMELY EXPLICIT) The passing of Harold Ramis gets more depressing as the hosts are reminded of how many talented folks the world will soon lose. Minecraft Movie in the works? Get your towel ready remastered again Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy being released. And folks in California need to spend a week in Tornado County, just so they learn not to look like idiots when bad weather approaches.

Why is Almost Human on the verge of cancellation, and why was the first season so tragically mediocre?

This week, Nintendo announced their intention to pull the plug on Wii and DS online games. This leaves some people upset, but we ask our chatters and discuss on the host panel, is it really that surprising? What about the impending release of DS games on the Wii-U? We also get reactions from the listeners in our Foogle Question of the Week. Also in the news this week, Twitch.TV announces streaming on the Xbox One, with some features missing from the Playstation 4 version. Is this likely to make more people stream on the Xbox One, or not make much of a difference at all? Also, Twitch beat Pokemon, what does this really mean for the future of interactive gaming?

Have you tried my Flappy Bird clone Flappy VOG? It's my first "published" game that I coded. It's pretty simplistic. Someone remade The Legend of Zelda for the Oculus Rift, and I learned that I was a VR Hipster when I didn't like it. Irrational Games laid off 100 people who won awards for Bioshock Infinite, but all the Internet can talk about is how excited they are for what Ken Levine's next project is. But is it really his fault? Then we take calls about Steam Machines and Gabe Newell's Cult of Personality.

Whenever I talk about the Oculus Rift, the first thing anybody says to me is "Oh, I'd love to play *insert favorite old game* in the Rift!" My first response is always "No, you wouldn't," and then I'd explain all the reasons why. They'd always shake their heads, tell me how wrong I am, and how I'm just not seeing the awesomeness of whatever they're imagining in their heads. This week, "Ubiquitron", a 31 year old independent game developer from Oakland, released a small demo using assets from the NES classic The Legend of Zelda, creating a massive news frenzy on gaming media. Looking at the responses, I've realized something - I've become the kind of person I make fun of. I've become a VR Hipster.

The winter season isn’t usually the most exciting time for movies. The box office is more likely to be dominated by December holdovers like Frozen or The Wolf of Wall Street and other movies pushing for the big awards. That doesn’t mean these winter releases are bad (Dark City, an amazing sci-fi film, was a late February release) it just means the studio may not have had the full confidence to release these movies during the ultra-competitive fall and Christmas seasons. For a lot of these movies, that lack of competition could certainly help get some more viewers.
