The crew brings on Juicebox Abel to catch up and preview the MLG Anaheim fighting game events! A lot is about to happen in the FGC in a very short time. With
MLG, CEO, EVO, and more right around the corner, what should fighting game players expect? (Time: 00:09:00)
For those watching the fighting game tournaments this weekend, what should we look out for? Who will make a splash in KoFXIII? While a majority of players are

complaints coming from the players? (Time: 00:36:30)
It's difficult to "herd cats." Why does Jerry think that we're getting the FGC all wrong? Why should we be listening to people that aren't a part of the scene?
