After a few failed attempts, we finally were able to get Nick (Twitch: GamesontheMind / Twitter: GamesotheMind) on the podcast. We cover a lot of topics such as the death of Roddy Pipper, Nick's visit to Quakecon, expectations from Gamescom and the release of Windows 10. Games discussed this week are Rocket League, Warframe, COD:AW, Destiny, The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight, Victor Vran, and more. It's a longer than usual show but give it a listen as we go in depth on some of the news stories and the releases for the week.
