There’s also a side tangent about games media and podcasts as well as listener question about the new Playstation Plus subscriptions.

VPG Ep 102: Shepard…
This week starts out with pop culture and lifestyle before moving into one big game. Hope you like Mass Effect 2 because the hosts of this show are hooked. Warning: Mild spoilers from 1:05:00 through most of the rest of the show. In addition Fred has been killing a handful of minutes daily with the early access run-based title that heavily borrows from Castlevania called Vampire Savior.
