SPOILER WARNING! We spoil a ton of games for people during this. We don't even warn people at some points. So, if we start talking about a game that you don't want to be spoiled in anyway, it's safer to just assume we spoiled it at some point. Otherwise, take your chances. Games we spoil for sure: Ghost Trick, Catherine and Portal 2 (those are off the top of my head). In this show each of us discu...

New Record! Its the shortest episode in the history of the podcast! Basically, Sean had a bunch of school stuff, Jon had to bounce in maybe thirty minutes but Nathan wanted to talk about Pinball at least a little bit so this is what there is. Not much beyond that is discussed, though "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" is chastised and "Tetris Axis" and "Resident Evil 4" manage to gain a mention. Our re...

Sorry its late, but that is almost entirely due to the fact that for the first time in the history of the podcast, SEAN isn't here this week! That means a two man show starring Jon and Nathan, which also means a slight change in the order of operations. That's right, new first THEN the games we played. Revolutionary I know. Stories were a bit light this week as we recorded right on the verge of Ga...

This week Nathan's computer has awful problems so we lose the "what are you playing?" segment of the show.
