This title and picture will not make much sense until you actually listen to the show, but be assured that even though I made the post this will result in Gow having a bad time.
Good news is that as you can probably tell from the above it was not a solo podcast, in fact I personally think it was one of the best we have recorded in a while.
Testing out a new format where we put nothing but the headlines on the screen unless we need specific details, we rattled off some words about everything from EA double-dipping on Dead Space 3 to another round of insult the analyst.
We are also even more convinced that Gabe has a serious case of the molyneux’s and we even found the time to go all fanboyish about the Wii U & Playstation Plus.
Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
