Metal Gear Mondays — Tactical Podcast Action

Jonathan is out. Ed is out. Alessio is out. Salvatore is out of his goddamn mind. It's a whole thing. Acts 3, 4, and 5 are blasting into your ear drums starting NOW!

Our journey with the titular Policenauts continues. This act has it all. Car chases, bomb diffusing, secret informers... uh... our partner's underage daughter? Oh, man... uh, shooting guns at a massquito swarm (not a typo)? Fondling-- no, no, I'm going to stop there. POLICENAUTS!! YAY!

We'll keep everyone informed as to if this will be a permanent change or someth...

Unfortunately, we have to reschedule #253: Policenauts (1996) - Part 2 - Act 1 for next week. In lieu of this, enjoy a free episode from our Patreon-exclusive podcast "The Patriot Club". We shall return with more Policenauts next week. Big ups to 8BitUzz for the killer Instant Crush cover.
