Co-Opticast Episode 20: The 3 in E3 Stands for Threesome
Mike and Nick and joined by Kat this week to discuss their pre-E3 thoughts. The plethora of news is broken down, including some Halo Wars DLC impressions, a Warhammer 40k Announcement and many more co-op delicious segments.
There's also the great debate of PC vs Console gaming explored, one that you might have thought was beaten to death. But Nick in his infinite wisdom conjured up a new way to look at it, from the co-op perspective.
All that and more in our 20th Episode!

Good listen, once again!But isn't this one technically a foursome? I'm pretty sure Huxley was there, too.
@BobOur mics have nothing to do with how loud we are.I wish I could dispel the myth that you have to constantly upgrade your PC to keep playing new games. My last PC was 4 years old and I only had to upgrade it because it imploded.
Great point Pheriannath. Throw in the fact that you can use a controller (if thats your thing) AND use your PC on the couch / tv.
Great listen, I loved the insight to E3 from a journalist's perspective.But that music at the end...makes me wanna cry that the podcast is over.

Great cast as usual guys. Nick and Mike are still kinda quiet, and I have to turn my ipod to full blast to hear it, but Kat came in loud and clear, so I was readjusting it back and forth depending on who was talking. I suggest you guys snag whatever mic she uses.In terms of your debate, I side with consoles. I like the concept that PC users have a lot more freedoms, and I am very jealous of their ability to mod games and whatnot. But in the end, the accessibility of the console wins me over time and time again. I would not want to have a PC where I would have to constantly update the video card and other stuff to keep it going, and my friends and I have never partaken in a LAN party, but we will game on the couch no problem. Also, despite the fact that I hate pre-ordering games, I'll probably be doing so for MUA simply to ensure I get my hands on Jugs. Not for nothing, but his "bullrush" move is one of the best in those games. I think Colosus had it in the first Xmen Legends, then Juggernaut had it in Xmen 2, and then the Thing has it in MUA. Nothing is better than charging at enemies at ramming speed and knocking them across the room or bashing through walls.
