It’s time to play big or go home. This week, the guys interview Ian Cofino, the creator of recent fighting tourney documentary “I Got Next.” The first-time director talks about gamer bonding, Street Fighter IV longevity, the dwindling arcade scene and what to expect from the final cut when it’s released next spring. Bookending the interview is a surreal sojourn through Sour Patch Fields, and even more blockbuster gaming. Tom and Kaz turn off the party chat in Modern Warfare 2 long enough to make some new friends, Tony hunts down his zombie grandma in Little Red Riding Hood’s Zombie BBQ, Nick hosts a D.C. Mario marathon and Justin endorses another inscrutable Bit.Trip game. So put your quarters on the cabinet and get in line – we’re ready to take on all challengers.

This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming. We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.
