Running on fumes this week, we delve into discussion of the few pieces of new info we have.  Specifically that involves some rather salacious armor, which has sparked quite the controversy (for lack of anything better to controvert over).  We discuss thes pics, our thoughts on gender in games, and answer a few emails.

We are having a special guest from Germany on the show this week, and as they are 6 hours ahead of us, we had to make special arrangements timewise. The show will be recorded 4 hours earlier than normal (at 4pm EST instead of 8pm EST) so if you want to watch live, make sure to show up at the correct time.
