Mike's contributions cover the gamut of gaming of movies, including his reactions to finishing Battlefield 4, and waffling about buying Madden '15.

They also journey into territory about various Oscars snubs and question their relevance, tiptoe around the return of two fan favorites, Community and The Walking Dead, lament the passing of retro phone and communication technologies, spend way too long speculating and complaining about recent gaming experiences and eventually compose Mike's obituary upon learning of his theoretical, someday-it's-bound-to-happen terminal diagnosis.
