Since the new Oculus Rifts haven't shipped yet, we talk about the recently successful Atlanta VR Meetup. It went 95% smoothly, and as usual, the 5% gets highlighted - but only so other organizers don't make the same mistakes in the future. In the midst of the 18,000 layoffs that Microsoft is doing, they will be shutting down Xbox Entertainment Studios. Google announced they will no longer label apps with In-App Purchases as "Free" to conform to a ruling by the European Commission. This dovetails into a discussion about when gaming became mainstream enough to assume that everyone knew them and how they worked.

As you may have heard on some of our gaming shows on the network this week, VOGNetwork.com was at GaymerX2 last weekend. GaymerX2 took place from July 11th - July 13th at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco, CA. While we were there, we shot some video and talked to some of the people at the show. Take a look at our VOG VLOG capturing the sights, sounds and most importantly cosplay of GaymerX2. Also featured in the video some of our podcasters here at VOGNetwork, as well as some fellow indie podcasters who took the stage in one of the many panels at the show, "Podcast X Zone"

Tonight we talk about the Destiny beta with our pal Ian from the Qoopa Klub podcast. This console shooter game from the makers of Halo has some very familiar MMO elements. Could this be what is drawing us to this genre of game that we might not normally play otherwise? In breaking news, the logo for the Warcraft movie is revealed at Comic-Con. Surprise! It’s nothing like the games at all, but isn’t that to be expected? Also in Blizzard news, Grandpa talks about the latest expansion for Hearthstone.

The box office has been pretty strong this summer as nearly all the movies highlighted in part 1 ended up as top 10 earners of the season so far. If only I had spotlighted “Neighbors” over “A Million Ways to Die in the West” all nine would have been up there. With a frontloaded summer like this, is there any money left to support the movies coming out in the second half of the season? Looking at July, you may not think so, but things ramp up big time in August.

Ever since Changes, the novel that fundamentally shifted the focus of The Dresden Files and added untold complications to the larger story, each successive novel has dealt with major revelations and advancements in the saga.

In other words, it’s been a while since there has been a novel of The Dresden Files that has been relatively stand-alone and low-key.
