Brad unfortunately had to duck out for this week's show, but Vinny and Alex keep the conversation going with more Summer Game Fest updates, ample discussion on Microsoft and the larger industry's current fortunes, and even a bit of speculation on what our level of survivability would be when pitted up against any X-Man, but mostly one X-Man in particular. The one with knives in his hands.
