The PC Gamer Show Coconut Monkey

Every Tuesday at 1 PM Pacific we broadcast The PC Gamer Show live from our office. It's your chance to get your questions answered live on Twitch, and hear us talk about gaming news, hardware, and what we're playing.

This week we'll be talking about what happens if episodic games get cancelled, Hearthstone, the looming presence of Black Friday, the year of open world games, and lots more—including our usual Twitch chat Q&A.

Watch along today on Twitch, and toss us some feedback on Twitter or here in the comments!

You can also listen to last week's episode right here.
