Well to say we had two weeks worth of content to cover, I am pretty impressed we managed to cover it all.
Though to be honest one story did dominate much of the news for the last fortnight and that was the X-Box One.
While the console itself saw little fanfare, the chaos around certain aspects such as Pre-Owned, Online requirements & Indie support have caused confusion.
We did manage to find some other news though, from the continuing woes of the Wii U to EA losing the plot a little and even a kickstarter campaign that we might actually be ok with.
Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
