Cohh becomes Florida Man on this episode after he regales us with stories from his Disney vacation before moving into the despairing news of Khazan's dev team dissolving, Rockstar suffers a data breach, and where your Kickstarter pledge to Ashes of Creation went. The Triple I Initiative gave us a very good indie game showcase, former Bethesday exec, Pete Hines hates Microsoft, Skyrim gets a multiplayer RP server and much more!

Cohh is on vacation so this week JP and Zeke are joined by Pro-gamers DatModz and Shroud! Before getting into the games we realize how young Shroud is to everyone's despair. Then we get down and dirty with Marathon, a very good game that may be too hard for the average player. Will that hinder the game long term? Then we go deep with our time with Crimson Desert, a weirdo game for the true freaks out there!
