On this week’s episode: we wank to Aku no Hana Ep.7 for a little bit, but afterwards it’s all about the one and only… the Xbox One, Microsoft’s new next generation console. We dissect what was shown during the system’s big reveal earlier this week, including hardware specs, new multitasking capabilities, live TV integration, Kinect 2.0, and much more. We also give our thoughts on the games that were on display; the ones that blew us away, the ones that made us scratch our heads, and the ones that just put us to sleep. And of course, we critique some of the Xbox One’s more controversial aspects like the fee for playing used games, the always-online nature of the system, mandatory game installs and lack of backwards compatibility. Hold on to your butts, because we definitely aren’t holding back this week.
