We also returned for a new &quot;Let's Talk About It&quot; segment where we talk about the increasing financial burden of gaming as well as the loss of ownership with a push for digital only releases.&amp;nbsp; Our &quot;Big Question&quot; for this week is &quot;What is a game that you were excited to play, but when you finally got it it didn't gel with you?&quot; Check out the video version of the podcast over at&amp;nbsp;www.youtube.com\/zenspathcom, share it with friends, give us a thumbs up, &amp;amp; leave us a review if you enjoy the show to help us grow!
