Blame it on the war economy, blame it on the nanomachines, or blame it on our secret admiration of mullets; the bottom line is that Jorge and I found ourselves sneaking through Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.  It's a fascinating game in both positive and negative ways and we take the opportunity to think about Ground Zeroes and what it says about the series as a whole.  Topics discussed include bullet time, the harlem globetrotters, and foot textures; all things that Hideo Kojima undoubtedly has strong opinions about.  As always, we're looking forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments!

As if trying to mimic the vast reach of the river with which it shares its name, Amazon is pushing into the media player market.  Unsurprisingly, The Amazon Fire TV will tie into video streaming services, but it looks as if games will also be a significant feature.  It has a game pad and Minecraft, so things seem pretty serious.  But what does the gaming library and the way it is marketed really say about how Amazon is approaching games?  How will this change the console experience?  Will Amazon continue on its path to knowing us better than we know each other?  All this and more is discussed on this week's show.

Our submersible is ready and our scuba gear is donned. We are ready once again to visit the terrible sunken city of Rapture. This week in the EXP Podcast, Scott and I delve into Burial at Sea, the final story-driven DLC for Bioshock Infinite. Does it wrap up the series with a beautifully designed bow? Or does it stir up more deep-sea sediment than it's worth?
