&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This week's episode falls under the category of better late then never. This throwback was recorded from the way back machine on the 19th of July. It's mostly Taylor talking, but Dave and Anthony chime in too.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Tons of Fallout: New Vegas DLC was on sale (you've played that, right?), but the biggest news was the new Android powered console, Ouya, which has seen amazing success on Kickstarter.
