Headlander is the name and tearing off heads is the game. Additionally Abzu might be a game and Yooka-Laylee is on its way to being a game! All this plus a genderless, disabled cat with monster feet and a mind for justice.
All this AND MORE™!

What is going on with 3DRealms? I feel like I’m going crazy here! Paul gets chilled out with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Ben is Banished and James plays some more MMOs or something (more ESO and FFIVX). Throw in some news attack and crowd funding and some epic disappointment in the general reaction to Lords of Shadow 2 and you’ve got a podcast. This one!

Super Mario 3D World makes quite the impression on Paul and James, Ben plays with his xbone, there’s WOW talk, the state of streaming on next gen and a bear that carries a god damn treasure chest! Also all the games are now Persona! I really should try a Persona game. I bet you’ve played the series haven’t you? Damn listeners always better than me.

Paul and James chat to Chris Tremmel, one of the original creators of Boogerman about the current Kickstarter to bring the mucus master back into our gaming lives.
Also I apologise for my horrible quality. We worked out the problem… after the show. AND JAMES IS SO QUIET! Chris is great though!
