Sean has been addicted to Risk of Rain all week. Nathan is playing a whole bunch of stuff in search of his next obsession and Jon is warming up to Pokemon Y.

Canadian retailers raise the price of video games while Steam introduces more currencies into its marketplace. Finally, Sony is having a pretty great sale on a range of titles from recent years.
