Recorded in front of an awesome crowd, a whole host of distinguished guests joined Xav, Jeff, and Garnett including Andrew Pfister, John Davison, Shane Bettenhausen, Billy Berghammer, Jeff Green, and Luke Smith. They shared their takes on some of the best games around the show including favorites from the PAX 10 indies in a custom Whatcha Been Playin, at PAX, and then answered some questions from the audience for a live version of the Warning.

1) We are a few months out now from the PS3 outage. What do you think has changed, if anything?
For me, it has meant very little. I went and changed all my passwords to be on the safe side, but I haven't heard of any big fall-out or complaints about it.
2) Do you think that EA's Origin may be the first of many? If EA can pull it off (in that Origin is the one stop shop for EA title's online) will other's take their content off Steam? Yes right now Steam has the most users, but EA would be quite happy knowing they don't have to give Valve a slice of every battlefield, SW:TOR, etc. Blizzard already do it. Will Activision, Ubisoft or other big names become independant IF Origin is a success.

2) I think Origin may be the first of many--who doesn't want to bring their distribution in-house? As we are also seeing in the movie world (Netflix is losing out on companies who want to develop their own streaming services), companies wanting to have their cake and eat it too is a trend that should continue. I think the success of each will hinge greatly on the content that each company can provide. With titles like Battlefield 3, EA can probably continue down the Origin path. Conversely, smaller, non-AAA titles would suffer under this model.
