We didn’t think you’d want us to talk about League of Legends again. But you did! And oh, do we deliver. Yet fret not, LoL-Haters, for Mark, Noah and Scott also talk about the drama of off-line leveling, microtransactions vs. subscriptions, Starcraft II and whether or not the Warhammer 40K MMO will suck.
