Im not here to plug, Im here to ask for some inspiration.

The 'idea well' has run dry of late with my last episode sounding like [insert your choice of swear here, my fav wear rhymes with 'kit].

So I was wondering if I get get some suggestions from some fellow gamers?

If you don't mind could you please propose some gaming related questions of any kind (preferably not the Yes|No variety) for us to address on the next cast.

Huge thanks in advance, sorry if this is against Ts&Cs or just the general consensus of the forums

How about why is cross platform play something that doesnt exist? Fragmentation of the GTA online crew I am in has happened, never enough to do heists now.

How do we end the F2P nightmare? Should we boycott Pay to Win publishers?

Why do publishers insist on pushing sh!tty platform ports onto PC users?

When is the combined steam/mobile juggernaut going to finally kill consoles for good?

Why do publishers insist on sh!tty DRM that only penalises legit customers.

Why should we pay full price for GTAV on PC when it came out on console nearly 2 years ago.

Wow those are brilliant questions, I really appreciate the effort you went to for those I can't wait to discuss them.

What is the future of crowd sourced funding for video games?

Will the sucess of Kerbal, Elite and Star Citizen get AAA publishers to reconsider the space simulation genre?

Is it ethical for game publishers to ship is DVD that is nothing more than a bootstrap for downloading the game online?

Is multi device gaming (having the main game running on your PC, but the map or other connected content) running on an tablet) a fad or will it continue to grow?

Where could the Rocksmith franchise go next?

When HL3 comes out, will anyone who played HL2 when it was released still be alive?

thoughts on E-sports, specially since a few AAA games are being made in the hopes of it being an E-Sport (e.g. Evolve, StarCraft 2)

Are Mobile game tie ins good or bad for the games themselves? ( specially if part of the budget to make these games are for making the kittier free mobile version)

Will Game streaming ( like NVidia's new shield console)  Kill consoles? ( like how digital media killed DVD rental stores )

and of course the age old question

Xbox or PS4?
