TGN: "We talk about our failed attempts at an episode 2 podcast in the past month, as well as what we are up to with current games. Also we mention that we are indeed looking for new writers to contribute to our News section, as well as Xbox 360 gamers that want to review games. We also talk about game releases that we are excited for in the next month or two, including the launch of the PS Vita which we will be filming the launch for. We don’t want to tell you everything that is going to be in the podcast so you’ll have to listen and find out."

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.
