Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t understand Let’s Plays, so of course he makes fun of people who like them. Now the story is that gamers can’t take a joke, but perhaps if the delivery of the joke was actually funny, maybe some gamers wouldn’t be upset about it. We also discuss the composer of Destiny’s and Halo’s music winning a lawsuit against Bungie. New information was released regarding the situation surrounding his dismissal, and we talk about whether or not he was the hero or villain here. Additionally, we discuss why there is no point in getting The Phantom Pain for PC on disc, Slave Tetris, ESports on ESPN, FTC on Machinima, and more pre-order ridiculousness.

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.
