This week, the increasingly regular Andrew Zucosky joins the always-irregular Bryan Carr as guests. Along with Steve Watts and Ozzie Mejia, they discuss the Super Bowl, shark suits, the Sony Online Entertainment sale, our all-digital future, and consumer confidence in Nintendo. Plus, in a Chattycast first, one topic was way too large to fit in a single week, so we're going to tackle it piece by piece for the next several shows.

Thanks as always to those who provided our topic suggestions this week: Daniel, Amusatron, daggot, melkore, and Psigun. 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 did the panel think of the Super Bowl? 
Segment 1: That SOE sale/acquisition kinda came out of nowhere, huh? What can you tell us about the new Evil Corporate Overlords behind Daybreak? What do you think it means not only for existing titles like Planetside, et. al., but also for the ones just around the corner like Everquest Next and H1Z1?
Segment 2: How soon to the end of physical media and it's all OnLive style streaming to a thin client?
Segment 3: With how Nintendo is handling the new streaming policy, their inability to stock their Amiibo's, and the fact that the New 3DS doesn't come with a charger to 'keep costs down' how much faith do gamers still have in them? 
Segment 4: What is the best console game from each generation? (This week: Pre-8-bit)
