Bear is back! Woot! We’d like to thank Mellified again for joining us last week, and warmly welcome Bear back to his rightful, well earned, and most deserved seat as co-host. So… there isn’t much to talk about, but wait! There is! We have two new games that we have been falling in love with. Well, one new one and one “new to you” type one that we hadn’t played before even though it’s years old now.

Returning this week is special guest Mellified. We do our best to fill the show with entertainment and information in Bear’s sorely felt absence. We discuss some very technical details of Stadia, XCloud, and other gaming-related goodies. Mellified brings his depth of knowledge to a show generally run by incompetent buffoons and wows with his use of big words and jargon. You’ll remember from the last time that he joined us, Mellified has a rich history in gaming and technology. He worked at Blizzard for nearly 18 years on multiple projects including World of Warcraft and the rollout of BattleNet and is currently a director at Twitch.tv. We appreciate Mellified taking the time out of his busy schedule to come and hang out with us.

Cricket has been sick for like a week, and it shows in todays episode. We apologize. Let’s spend some time discussing the merits and downfalls of digital distribution, as deals between Frogwares and Focus Home Interactive end, and some other games come down from Xbox, PS4 and PC digital stores.
