Eheti adásunk ismét hosszúra sikerült, de hát annyi baj legyen, hiszen ezt már talán megszokhattátok tőlünk. Természetesen most is masszív hírezéssel kezdünk, amelyben megemlítjük Raprt, és az Xfire szolgáltatásokat. Miyamoto véleményt alkot a Vitáról, valamint a telefonos warez is szóba kerül egy érdekes adat kapcsán. A Sonynak (megint) nem megy a szekér, valamint az Old Republic MMO is igen jelentős felhasználótábort vesztett. A Nintendo jelentős árcsökkentést hajt végre DSi termékén. Játékmegjelenések kapcsán ezúttal a Max Payne 3 és a Rainbow Moon nevű SRPG játékokat említjük meg. Új, kisebb iPad a láthatáron? Valamint megemlítjük a Leica nevű cég új fényképezőgépét. A főtémánk ötlete most ismét egy hallgatónktól származik. Ez nem más, mint a ‘browser gaming' avagy a böngészőkben játszható játékok. Kiderül, hogy nem is olyan egyszerű összefoglalni, hogy mik is tartoznak bele ebbe a kategóriába. Podcastunkat a 'Ki mivel játszott' blokkal zárjuk, melyben ezen játékok kerülnek megemlítésre: Fb2: Blacklight Retribution, Path of Exile greg: Wakfu Zephyr: COD MW3 (Eredeti megjelenés: 2012.05.14.)
