Pixel x Pixel Episode 68

Happy August! This month, Anne is putting down the controller to walk with Pai Pai for 45 minutes a day to raise money for Guide Dogs Australia (ok, after the 45 minutes she picks the controller back up). Marcus has been keeping busy with his Bustafellows review as well as a review of the inexplicably named Mad Catz B.A.T. 6+ Performance Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse. Plus, we give all the deets on our extra-special upcoming live episode to celebrate episode 69 on Friday, August 13 at 4pm PT! Warning for discussion of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit at the beginning of Media Minutes, in which we get rather heated (understandably).
