I have been wanting to talk about poker video games for about 200 episodes now, and finally decided to spoil myself (thanks Flanders) and dedicate an episode of the show to the video game ports of the card game I love so much. It's too bad they kinda suck.

I think you could fire up World Series of Poker today and be pretty underwhelmed. It's ugly, the career mode is pretty thin, and the AI is trash. But back in 2005 when I fell in love with poker and didn't have the bankroll to play at the casino, this was where I got my fix when I couldn't get a home game together. I have a soft, soft spot in my heart for not only the WSOP video games, but WPT and Stacked as well, and I get into all of them this week in a rare solo episode.

And before I shuffle up and deal, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week, someone asks if I've ever written any jokes about gaming for my comedy act? I address the barrage of Titanfall 2 DMs I've gotten lately. And is GTA 6 worth $100?

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features the next 3 games I'm planning to cover on RTG: Gears of War 2, Okami, and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
