On Topic: Expectations for next-gen.
The CCU crew get together to talk about their expectations for next gen; some things that need to be standard, what we would like to see developers do with the new technology, and the trends from last gen that need to die and thus not be brought over to the next/current gen of console gaming.
We attack it almost like a review kind of style (what do we expect out of each category) with a little extra on top.
Off Topic:
-Ground Zeroes Price Drop
-Evolve trailer (Our Thoughts)

GETL Podcast says: "In episode 81 we discuss the interesting nuance surrounding narrative and lore elements within video games, and how this interactive medium is both a boon and a curse for lore junkies".
The short answer is, it depends on the game and whether or not narrative is the focus. For example, maybe it's important to provide us with the social commentary that accompanies the fall of civilization as we come face to face with the dark side of humanity in the struggle for survival. On the other hand, maybe we just need to shoot zombies, and that's cool too. The videogame medium is versatile enough to allow for either approach, some combination of both, or something in between.
