			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week we talk about the Penny Arcade podcast Kickstarter campaign and whether or not they should be using Kickstarter to fun a podcast.  We also discuss the upcoming NVIDIA Shield handheld console, a follow up to our &#8220;Girl Games&#8221; discussion from a few weeks ago, ProjectRED&#8217;s release of their REDkit development suite, and Sony&#8217;s annoucement of Gran Turismo 6. Will it be released when they say it will? We doubt it.  We also find out what actually happened with Silicon Knights and rejoice over EA&#8217;s discontinuation of the Online Pass.</p>
<p>With Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox Reveal coming up very soon, Jeff and Sean talk about what their greatest fears and greatest hopes are for the announcement.  In less than a week, we&#8217;ll know more about what we&#8217;ve been eagerly anticipating.  Will we be amazed or let down? Time will tell.  For now, we can only hope and dream, and fear a little bit too.</p>
<p>Finally we finish of the episode with a review of Mars War Logs, a new Action RPG from Spiders Studios.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: right;">The One with the Anniversary</h2>
<p>Not only is this our big 50th episode, we also celebrate the one year anniversary of the show.  To help us celebrate, a long lost, familiar, voice joins us for the entirety of the show.  Besides talking about our latest gaming adventures, we do a quick recap of the very first episode to see where we were a year ago.  Talk then moves on to the latest news and the latest rumours about the Next Xbox.  What does Microsoft have to pull out of their hats to best Sony&#8217;s PS4 announcement in February? This is the main topic of discussion today.  Also: we give away, live on-aire, the Epic Rare Drop Loot Chest. One lucky winner takes home the prize!  Thanks for all our listeners over the past year and we hope you&#8217;ll stick around for another great year ahead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week we talk at length about the new Defiance game as well as the TV Show before moving into the week&#8217;s gaming goodies including Nintendo Direct, PAX Prime, the latest Steam Greenlight game pack, and a look inside the making of the Transformers toys.  Is the next Xbox called Infinity? We talk about that possibility as well as some more Next Xbox rumours in the Next Gen Rumour Roundup.  With the Next Xbox and the PS4 going a more traditional PC route, why would gamers want to go with a console this next generation instead of a better gaming PC? We try to discuss this before getting sidetracked into the current state of PCs in the home and why that makes Jeff sad.</p>

		<itunes:summary>This week we talk at length about the new Defiance game as well as the TV Show before moving into the week's gaming goodies including Nintendo Direct, PAX Prime, the latest Steam Greenlight game pack, and a look inside the making of the Transformers toys.  Is the next Xbox called Infinity? We talk about that possibility as well as some more Next Xbox rumours in the Next Gen Rumour Roundup.  With the Next Xbox and the PS4 going a more traditional PC route, why would gamers want to go with a console this next generation instead of a better gaming PC? We try to discuss this before getting sidetracked into the current state of PCs in the home and why that makes Jeff sad.
The Stuff We Like to Talk About

	Nintendo Direct
	PAX Prime four day pass sells out in less than an hour
	Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures was Greenlit in the 6th set of titles
	Defiance Players: Get all the Arkfall codes here: http://orcz.com/Defiance:_Arkfall_Codes
	Enter them at: defiance.com/arkhunter for in-game bonuses
	A Look inside Hasbro at the making of a Transformer

Next Gen Rumour Roundup

	Xbox Surface Tablet?
	Microsoft Looks at reviving Heroes TV Show
