We have a downer of a show for you on this week's episode of Power Button as we discuss two topics that traditionally do not have many smiles nor sunshine behind them: racism and layoffs.  First up, Joey Davidson and I react to Assassin's Creed III producer Alex Hutchinson's remarks in the media calling the video game industry is racist.  We're hoping that he doesn't really mean it and that he's just having a bad week.  Then in the second segment, Brad Hilderbrand arrives to talk about the restructuring of cloud gaming service OnLive and whether or not the company can bounce back from the sorry state in which it finds itself.  We have an hour or conversation waiting for you.  Join us!  Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, or subscribe via iTunes, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late.
