Episode 105 – Good Touch

Use your hands like a baby’s toy!

Do you want to kiss? Do you want to Joust? DO YOU WANT TO BE HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A LEAD PIPE?! Tex Murphy, Lococyle, Sportsfriends, Realistic Kissing Simulator, Don’t Starve, Sunset overdrive, disability in gaming and yes even some crowd funding! James is late though.  Late as in the late James Bowling? It’s a sort of threat you see. I’ve never been terribly good at them myself but I’m told they can be terribly effective.

Episode 102 – Layton or Wright

episode-102

Paul is off climbing a mountain or something, so this week Ben takes the reins as host! Simone joins us again to talk about her iron-fisted management in Prison Architect, and all the genderly ambiguous green dinosaurs you can handle with Yoshi’s New Island. James says some stuff about Elder Scroll Online again, and totally didn’t throw up when riding a virtual Hoverboard in Hill Valley. Kickstarters, mystery sounds, this episode has it all!

Except Paul. There is very little Paul in this episode.
