Summary

There's been a lot happening this week. A lorra lorra lot. So much, in fact, that we rushed to get through it all and accidentally managed to make the podcast shorter than usual. Whoops. Still. Think of it as a more concentrated offering, like Splenda. Splenda for your EARS. Yum. So, in this Splend-iferous episode of the podcast, Luke, Alex and Chris tackle everything that's been going on this week from Nintendo's ongoing financial struggles to all Microsoft's Xbox One rumours, from the exciting announcement of the PS Vita Slim (worst kept secret, ever) to the... interesting X-Men images that came out this week. Are we sure the dude playing Toad doesn't have mumps? I mean, has anyone actually checked he's okay? So have a listen, or a watch if that's more your thing, as we ramble our way along and as usual narrowly avoid ballsing it all up. On the plus side, no one nearly sh**s themselves this week. Which is always a plus. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
