The PC Gamer Show - Episode 1

Microphone

Yesterday we kicked off our new talk show on Twitch, The PC Gamer Show. If you didn't catch it, don't sweat: we're also publishing The PC Gamer Show as a podcast!

This week we talk about the news emanating from Gamescom, including Paladins and Halo Wars 2. We also dig into what we've been playing lately: Dirty Bomb, Terraria, and Rocket League, the breakout indie hit. What makes Rocket League so special, and does it have a future as an esport? Dota 2 anthropologist Chris Thursten gives us an update straight from The International, Dota 2's $18 million grand tournament and we ponder the future of crowdfunded competition.
