In this episode of BGA, we discuss the government’s fixation with loot boxes, Crowley’s fixation with SWTOR, Sony’s idiotic attempt at copying Nintendo Direct, and the labor issue in gaming (it’s a good thing Crowley isn’t here for this one, because he’d explain to us and you, the listener, why we’re both wrong). We talk a bit about why Randy Pitchford is insane before we review The Hand of Gilgamech!
