Due to the intense temperature in which we recorded this week's show, it ended up being our most naked and revealing yet! And what better lens through which to dissect the past couple of week's gaming news, including the Microsoft layoffs, those EA delays and some enlightening MMO statistics. Please note: due to us all being up to our necks in old and/or previously discussed games, there will be no show next week. Normal service will be resumed in 2 weeks time! Until then... Enjoy!
