Show Notes E3 discussion Microfost XBox One vs. Sony PS4 both have almost the same tech specs, but one has more shaders and better memory one is about TV one has a cloud one has indies (well, they both do, but one has indies like Mojang and the other has indies like Octodad) both have paywalls one allows you to share (well, both now since one did a 180) one has a new Kinect both have new controllers (rumble triggers and touch pads) Nintendo was absent what does that mean? Oculus Rift head chopped off moving fast makes you sick moving at all can make you sick Ryan gets sick Ouya Ouya, is it worth the $100? reminiscent of XBox Indie Games (yea, in the bad way) discovery is tough not a lot of games kids love it (annoyingly so) Amazing Frog!
