After taking a few unexpected months off, the Mashcast is back! Nick, Jarret, and guest host Jorge talk about what they’ve been up to the past few months, and Nick seemed really keen on talking about PT. Speaking of PT, Guillermo Del Toro I saying he’s done with games development, but it’s mainly to keep from hurting others. Another surprise was that someone called in a bomb threat to a GamerGate panel, the surprising part being that the panel was pro-GamerGate. Among other things we talk about more franchises possibly coming to Heroes of the Storm, Playstation Plus members being able to vote on games, a Nintendo employ getting fired for being on a podcast, MLG making major strides in Ohio, and Crackdown 3’s use of the cloud in multiplayer.
