We start with the rumors flying around about the successor to the Xbox 360. Will it use Blu Rays, will it have some sort of measures in place restricting gamers from playing used games on the console, and will it actually use a stupid name like Xbox 720? Then in our main topic we address ludology vs. narratology. Does story or interactivity take precedence or does it truly depend on the game? Watch as Brian and Landon duke it out in this extra long episode!

Back to the Future trilogy goes Blu Ray
Why did I not know about this sooner? I know I’m completely behind the curve on this news, but it is my duty to inform you the people of this monuments event. Shout it from the rooftops even! The Back to the Future trilogy has been the Blu Ray collection I’ve been waiting for. This release coincides with the 25th anniversary of the franchise (geeze I feel old), and is slated for Tuesday, October 26th, 2010!
It will feature an all new restoration of the film with a boat load of bonuses (including a huge brand new retrospective). All I can say is, “GOTTA GET BACK IN TIIIME”.
