This week, the Chattycast tries a bold new experiment: live broadcasting. Host Steve Watts talked with Ozzie Mejia and Andrew Zukowsky live on a stream, which has now been captured for your podcast listening pleasure. We'll be continuing to broadcast our recording sessions, so be sure to tune in if you want to chime in on subjects like donut preferences, game coverage choices, Valve's mod kerfuffle, Konami's future, and gaming marathons.

Thanks as always to those who provided our topic suggestions this week: the man with the briefcase, BeowulfSchaefer, spazzium, EnhancedInterrogator, and Amusatron. If you want see your name in lights, keep an eye on Chatty to suggest topics! And, special thanks to Chatty user dael for contributing music to the show, and to Bryan "Doctor Games" Carr for production assistance.

Off-Topic: What is your favorite kind of donut?
Segment 1:  With curation becoming more of a concern particularly on mobile and the PC, what do you do to find and highlight the games that deserve it. What can you do better? 
Segment 2: What is everyone's take on the Valve Mod kerfuffle?
Segment 3: With recent developments at Konami a lot of us are worried about never seeing Castlevania, Contra, Gradius, etc, again. Best case scenario would be for Konami to sell the property for a reasonable price to devs like Treasure. That seems highly unlikely, so what do you think are some more realistic things that might happen?
Segment 4: What's been your longest gaming marathon session? Have you ever had a moment when you're wondering when the light is coming from and you realize it's daybreak?
