Don't forget to DONATE to our upcoming Extra Life Game Day! We'll be raising money for Texas Children's Hospital in Houston (and others as well!)! Details can be found here: goo.gl/J5wWgd

In this episode, Emily spies some Kickstarter board games, Jacob goes for the booty at the Ixalan pre-release, and Shawn is preparing his haptic OASIS rig for the VR revolution. Plus, which system would you recommend for someone looking to get a home console, and why is it the PS4? Plus, a rant on Nintendo's inability to give its fans what they want.
