This week we are joined by Chris “RocGaude” Whittington, eager to just partake in a podcast and not host one, and Pete “AngryJedi” Davidson, eager to partake in a podcast and not edit one. Both of those squaddies are one vacation, so they’ve been playing plenty of games. Roc brings the goods with 50 Cent and Mass Effect, Pete finally gets to play Persona 4, Mike is working his way through the majors in MLB 09 The Show, and Ajguy is seeing what his house would like like after years of nuclear corrosion in Fallout 3’s The Pitt. It’s also GDC week! We talk about all kinds of news including OnLive.
