We got sent Retro Gaming, a bite sized history of video games by Mike Diver. It actually came out originally in hardcover. And I've been really enjoying it, but you know who's loved it? Mosey. He has bent it in every direction because he reads it at night and he pushes it to like so it stays open on its own.

A few weeks ago, game developer Double Fine surprise-dropped a 22-hour documentary about the seven-year creation of Psychnoauts 2. At least that's the premise on paper. In reality, the stunning TV-length doc is a fearless look inside the day-to-day life of a video game studio -- warts and all. The documentarians, employed by Double Fine, have unprecedented access to practically every person and room . Frush and Plante talk about the series, called Double Fine PsychOdyssey, along with The Last of Us TV adaptation. Plus, a delightful new retro gaming book is a perfect gift for video game newcomers.
