Alon and Rich return from CES with stories of porn stars and boredom. Alon and Ara give an etymology lesson. We're reminded, once again, that gamers often don't know what they want.

It's 2010, and we haven't heard a peep about the next generation. Are game reviews valid, useless, or just flawed? Why did Alon spend any time playing at all playing Assassin's Creed II?

In this episode, we learn all about pachinko machines, satire in video games, and pricing disparity. We also learn about how much Pen loves Modern Warfare 2.

Ara and Danny Baranowsky take the reigns while Alon is away for the holiday.

Due to popular (or singular) demand, we return to the topic of review scores and how they affect game sales. While we're at it, we consider how advertising, like cover art, might affect sales as well.
