In which we consume a lot of milk. Also! Chris returns with tales from the Dota International, Marsh cops to a crime spree in Payday 2 and Graham is ravaged by Spelunky-addiction. Then we all get giddy (with excitement) after a dose of Oculus Rift.
Also discussed: things you can hold in your hand to make men lie down, Marsh’s irrational loathing of sport, noob-friendly RTS games, memory, music and someone called Michael, who it is apparently wise not to fluff. We also get buzzed by a helicopter, but it’s disappointingly not made out of gold.
