Racial Diversity Gaming Hour 20 - Watch Dogs is here and E3 2014 is coming

Episode 20 of the Racial Diversity Gaming hour is here, and with it the most racially diverse gaming cast on the Internet today! Join host Glenn "The Commissioner" Gordon, KGB Garri Bagdasarov, The Original Ben Stirling, and The Shapeshifter, Fraser Miller as they talk about the latest events in gaming.

The most anticipated new IP in history, Watch_Dogs, finally launched on May 27, breaking industry records for a new IP by selling an enormous amount of copies in its first week of public existence. As many gamers are discovering, however, Ubisoft did not manage to make the game perfect on the first try. What went wrong?

Sony and Microsoft both plan to launch the PS4 and Xbox One in China--but with strict content rules and a society relatively inexperienced with video games, is the largest country in the world really worth their effort?

The Wii U has finally earned a ray of light, outselling the PS4 in Japan and significantly increased interest around the world. How has its latest offering, Mario Kart 8, helped the struggling Wii U?

All of this and more makes the latest episode of RDGH. Enjoy!

Our intro music this week is a vocal remix of the Rainbow Road track from Mario Kart 64. It was made by talented remixers Benjamin Briggs and Level 99 from OCremix.org. To hear the rest of the song and download it and many more amazing video game remixes for free, visit OCremix.org.

Racial Diversity Gaming Hour 19 - F2P vs. P2P vs. B2P

Episode 19 is finally here, and the most racially diverse gaming cast on the Internet has things to say (as usual). Join host Glenn "The Commissioner" Gordon, KGB Garri Bagdasarov, Ben Sterling, and newcomer Mike Harradence (officially dubbed "The Muscles from Brussels") as they discuss the news in gaming.

YouTube is making plans to buy Twitch for a billion dollars, and gamers are concerned that like YouTube, Twitch could have an influx of ads and content could be removed for digital rights management purposes. Hear why the cast thinks this is not entirely accurate.

The Xbox One will soon have an SKU at the same price point as the PS4, minus the highly-touted and much maligned Kinect camera. GameStop has reported greater interest in the Xbox One since this new disKinected SKU was announced, but will the difference be enough to significantly dent the millions-wide gap between sales for the Xbox One and the PS4?

Free-to-play, pay-to-play, and buy-to-play are three business models that have caused controversy among gamers for years, and KGB Garri has something to say about it. Which is the best business model, and is there any hope for the others? Also, can Driveclub's microtransactions be successful without harming the community?

Finally, The Commissioner has an important message about E3, and the cast makes predictions about what we could see on June 9 and how it will affect Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. All this and more comprise a great episode of RDGH.

The intro and ending music are remixes of "Logan's Journey" from the Guild Wars 2 soundtrack. The intro is from the Sunny Glade level of Super Adventure Box, a dungeon within Guild Wars 2. Hear the rest of it and more at ArenaNet's official SoundCloud; the game has a seriously great soundtrack that's worth the listen. The ending is a metal remix of the intro song, created by very talented game music remixer, DusK. Hear the entire song here, and be sure to subscribe to him for more great remixes.

Racial Diversity Gaming Hour 18 - Is Far Cry 4 Racist?

Episode 18 comes during an exciting week for gaming, and the most racially diverse gaming cast on the Internet has something to say about it! Join host Glenn "The Commissioner" Gordon, KGB Garri Bagdasarov, The Prodigal Son Ernest Lin, and our good ol' Host with the Most Dane Smith as they tackle the issues this week.

Could the PlayStation Vita be getting another price drop? Can Sony handle another price drop?

Nintendo won't be at E3, opting instead to use Nintendo Direct once again. Is this a good move for the company? With talk of new Nintendo consoles incoming, has Nintendo finally given up on the Wii U?

Microsoft has a hunch as to why it's so far the behind the PS4 in sales. Does the old argument about Sony's presence in multiple territories making for more sales ring true?

Also, it's like Resident Evil 5 all over again with the announcement of Far Cry 4, which looks like it will be a highly anticipated game. An apparently controversial cover had some gamers outraged--and in turn, Dane and Glenn are both outraged at those gamers. Hear one of the biggest rants on RDGH so far about a controversial topic, all in the latest episode of RDGH.
