Today's ShockCast should probably just be retitled "Aimless" due to our predilection to going off the rails. This week we talked about the recent Black Friday sales, and our own perspectives on the beginning of the holiday shopping season - since Jorge and I both have retail experiences. We also talked about Sony's rumored directive to start producing original programming for the PlayStation Network, and some thoughts on what the surprise announcements at this Saturday's Video Game Awards will be.

This week I was joined by Jorge Jimenez (Staff Writer) and Ryan Meitzler (Staff Writer). Many thanks to El Blanco Niño for our custom intro and outro.
