Internet sensation David “CheapyD” Abrams returns to the show for a truly rare event: we actually played some games! Tune in to the first segment for impressions of Journey, Asura’s Wrath, Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, and Level-5’s Girls RPG, plus thoughts on the new iPad, Valve’s rumored (and then debunked) “SteamBox” console, Phil Fish and Keiji Inafune’s feelings about Japanese games, and more. Then stick around for the second segment for a quick burst of fresh-from-YouTube commentary on Sony’s “PS Vita Game Heaven” video barrage! (One word: PSO2!)

Running time: 1:50:10
