Episode 52 – If we pretend this episode is about Call of Duty: Ghosts it will boost the ratings

We don’t just briefly mention it and spend most of our time discussing weird Kickstarter projects, Rayman Legends, Starcraft 2 and hilariously ironic game piracy. We wouldn’t pull a classic switcheroo on our listeners like that.
