Episode 129 – Mistakes in Space

In space everyone can still hear you ruin your career with one tweet. James plays Civ: Beyond Earth, Ben gets into Titanfall’s new Frontier Defence mode and Paul finally finishes Metal Gear Solid 16 years after its release. Super Smash Bros for Wii-U surprises us all with an arse load of content and a Paranatuical Activity Dev makes a very unfortunate mistake.
