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.

Gragtharr on Skywall-US. Garresque on Ravencrest-US.
Valve’s decision to add a pay barrier to Greenlight may get rid of the trolls, but has made some unhappy. We discuss that plus the Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes trailer, EA trying to kill of single player, and Ubisoft giving up on their retarded DRM....
