This week Trees is up at the cabin for vacation while Fred is just chillin’, literally. After a few anecdotes about Coke + Coffee it’s onto the games. Trees is all about Mario with Mario Galaxy and the recently released Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, but he also spent some quality time on the PS2 with Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. A late mention of Funko Pop Blitz piqued Fred’s interest in dirty mobile match 3 titles. Fred has been growing tired of Amalur due mostly to shear volume, partying it up with Rock Band 3 this week, and running through the b-tier 360 title Legendary. It all wraps up with Fred starting the opening hours of Batman: Arkham City.
