Gaming Matters

Matt and Lucas discuss their migraines, theories of play, Bioshock's power set, the satisfaction of Crackdown's orb hunts, and the Wii U (again). Plus a million more games. Mainly they jawbone about the search for the perfect video game power progression and the different types of "leveling up." Lucas has an interesting choice for his favorite. Spoiler: it has a great soundtrack. They both shout "Ultimate Destruction" at the same time, further raising the question as to how they have ever gotten any humanoid to talk to them in a romantic fashion.

Gaming Matters gives a wet, slobbery kiss to Nintendo, a company that Matt and Lucas both love, possibly to a fault. They discuss the company's ups and downs and the career of the sadly departed Satoru Iwata, a different sort of executive. They predict the future of Nintendo with absolutely no standing to do so.
