WOW! Did I used to record these things on my own & sober?
With Gow away skiing in France & Craig living it up state-side at GDC – I was left completely without a co-host for the first time this year.
There were several people who offered to co-host, and I thank them all for their offers to help. Unfortunately being my last week at Omerta, I had to put in some extra time to get some things wrapped up. This meant a later than normal start to recording.
To everyone that offered I will contact you about co-hosting in the future as I have always thought about including guest hosts in the show.
So despite being shorter than normal and not really having as much randomness as normal – I hope you still enjoy this weeks episode.
So without further stalling, here it is.
