Microsoft is OK with the gays, Ubisoft found out why its DRM was such a dumb idea, Forza 3 gives Ara insight into the corporate battle against used games and lost profit, we ponder the value of watching others play video games, and we tease a topic for next week - the psychology of why you keep playing crappy games.

Big dawgs at Infinity Ward get the axe, and the whole world reacts. Portal 2 creates an alternate reality something. Ara and Alon ponder the potential benefit to the publisher of an extra long demo.

Could giving up your game for Lent save the world? Actually, we didn't talk about that much, but we want to hear what you have to say about it. Shoudl Square Enix rot in hell for what they did? Should we care that companies kill multiplayer servers when sequels release? Is Bobby Kotick a robot? Does novelty guarantee quality?

The Illusion of Choice, a Heavy Rain introspective.

Role-playing games - a story of evolution, imagination, and scandal. OK, maybe not scandal, but Alon does tell a quick story of accidentally watching some gay porn in college.
