Justin and Rob have returned from the frozen continent Antartica, formerly known as Boston, with lots of Pax East talk. Tons of games were played, and need to be discussed - most notably Overwatch and Gigantic. Listen in as the guys discuss the perils of line waiting, freezing weather, horrible food service and indie goodness. Then, the crew checks in with Steve who's clocked in several hours while playing and absolutely loving Helldivers. Also, We can't not talk about the incredible Olli Olli 2, either. That soundtrack! All of that plus, what you've been playing, questions and another giveaway! Let's do this!   Steve: @ dead_anchoress Jacqui: @ jacquiturner Justin: @ joroak Rob: @ Dusk1020 Bobby: @ bobbyshortle

Talking Games Episode 49: The Order 1886, Arkham Knight and Game Ratings This week, Rob leads Justin, Jacqui, and Steve in a discussion about video game maturity.

Has Jacqui really spend her whole week sleeping around in Dragon Age: Inquisition? Ah! I have your attention now, don't I? The group also gets around to talking about the games they've played this week, including titles like: Grand Theft Auto V Online, Cave Story, The Walking Dead, and The Order 1886. Additionally, Steve gets lost inside of a Canadian Adventure Room, Rob expresses his longing for Monster Hunter 4, and Jacqui asks the question: Who are the people who decide what our games are rated?
