The Experience Points Podcast
A weekly video game podcast from the co-writers of ExperiencePoints.net

We've wandered through these castle ever-shifting castle walls for so long, but we've finally escaped.  Actually, both Jorge and I are still fighting our way through Rogue Legacy, but after dozens of generations of fallen heroes, we decided it was time to share our experiences.  Gather round for tales of martyrdom, mining, and magic.

"Wait! Don't touch that... welp, you touched it."

Ouya might be struggling right now, but the concept of a cheap and adaptable home console alternative to the big three is here to stay. What does that mean for the future of gaming? And what does it mean for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo? Stick around and ask Mr. Businessman! This week on the show, Scott and I go over the edge with the coming technological tide. As always, check out the article that inspired this week's podcast in the show notes below, it's a good one. We also encourage you to leave your thoughts and predictions about microconsoles in the comments below. Do you own an Ouya? Are you a believer?
