Episode #22: God Bless the Macgyver Mic

Well were back, by that I mean the DrunkenGamer is back. Back from Corfu and shockingly with not even the remotest sign of having a tan.

However this week was E3 week, so even though we tried to keep the podcast to a normal length such a task was clearly impossible. If we missed anything from E3 so far, we will probably mention it in next weeks podcast.

Suffice to say that this podcast is longer and more rambling than any other in Drinky Talky Thing history, rolling in at a massive 2hrs 44minutes.

We have however done our best to cover as much of E3 as has happened before this podcast went to the studio (Paddy’s living-room) as we humanly can.

As always we’re still taking suggestions for the mid podcast songs. So if you have a suggestion for song to be included in the podcast then put it in the comments of this post or send them too @DrunkenGamer or @D_Gow . They will be put on the short-list and you will be mentioned in the podcast itself when played.
