Hosts
Jarret Redding
Jarret is Executive Director as well as one of the founding members of Mash Those Buttons. He plays all types of games, but tends to lean more toward FPS, Stealth, and Combat games.
Host of WoW! Talk! and The Tauren & The Goblin. Sometimes known as the Video Games Public Defender. Wants to play more Destiny and Marvel Heroes but WoW is all-consuming. Decent F2P Hearthstone player. Sad that he lost the Wii that had Wrecking Crew on it. Would be happy if the only game ever made was M.U.L.E.
Gragtharr on Skywall-US. Garresque on Ravencrest-US.
So apparently Battlefield 1943 was down for a month and EA did nothing about it. Mikey and Nick say people should just be happy that EA fixed. We also discuss predicted next gen console prices, Dishwasher: Vampire Smiles illegally being ported to PC, and a new Kickstarter game from the creator of Spider-man 2....
