Checkmate Arcade Ep. 79 - Micro Inferno

This week Jason takes a trip to his local Micro Center, only to get questioned about one of the items he was purchasing. He also takes the PS3 version of the Dante's Inferno demo for a spin and helps us catch up on the new changes to 1 vs 100 this season. Steven was boring and only played games you've heard him talk about before. We also have the new game announcements from the Spike VGAs in the news and the November NPD numbers. Go grab some hot chocolate and get comfortable for this laughter inducing episode.
