Episode 56 – Kickstart this! …and that and all of these ones

James gets his Fire Emblem on, Paul plays The Swapper and Ben needs to talk more. There is the amazing Crypt of the NecroDancer to chat about, PS4 remote play, American McGee’s new projects and more crowd funding than you can point a stick at! That is of course assuming you can’t point at more than 10 things with a stick. This included a new project from Double Fine, a successor to The Neverhood and a gorgeous trip back to the 1930’s.
