This week’s episode is a little bit more intellectual than most of our other episodes, mainly because Opey was not with us. Ah, who are we kidding? We sound just as dumb whether he’s on the show or not. Even though Opey was absent we still managed to talk about the influence of video game reviews, a new distribution pact that brings better streams to Netflix users, and the top 10 games of the year so far. Matt then picks everyone’s brain by asking what franchises would make a good MMO.
