This week on The Firmware Update, Malcolm’s future as a Masterchef contestant and Joe’s past as an ace cutlery salesperson intersect as they discuss the role of weight and balance in a good vegetable knife. Oh, and we’re also smack in the middle of the Fall 2015 video game rush, so they talk about some of that stuff, too.

Talking Points: Cutlery corner; Activision’s $5.9 billion in-app purchase; Skyrim as next-gen training; why Sony hasn’t shown much of The Last Guardian; Metal Gear Solid’s post-Kojima future; FPS fans find a new home on PlayStation 4; Blizzcon brings rare console news in the form of Overwatch; Rainbow Six Siege’s DLC plans; Uncharted soundtracks on vinyl; the House of Mouse finally cozies up with PlayStation Vue; what the near and far future hold for virtual reality.
