Episode 136: SkypE Phon3 Call Deux

50 E3 2013 Yes/No Questions, Big Boss Predictions, and Kiefer Predictions are discussed. In this THREE HOUR monstrosity of an episode, we used Skype in order to have fans of the show call in live to discuss speculative E3 topics with us. Discussion includes Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Third-Party, and much more! Fans gave their bold “Big Boss Predictions” and then followed it up with even crazier “Kiefer Predictions,” after the news broke that Kiefer Sutherland would be the voice of Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid V. After E3 happens, we will be back next weekend with the winner of our Yes/No contest in order to discuss all that happened at the Electronic Entertainment Expo! But for now and for posterity, enjoy this hype-filled episode! Youko, TheBuzzSaw, Super, TonyTH, and all our fans who called in break down the latest news from the gaming world!
