This week Jason, Adam and Usually Dave are setting digitalSoup history as the stars aligned and they were able to gather around a table and record face to face for the first time! Jason travelled to Minnesota and the guys dove into Facebook implementing a paywall feature and Google saying "Don't call it a comeback". They also touch on some great movie news with Pacific Rim:Uprising and Shazam, a YouTube video of Hulk being decapitated and a modified live gameshow quiz. Wrapping up with some gaming news, including the Ataribox and a discussion about photographing the upcoming Solar Eclipse, this live recording is a wild ride up north!
