Good news everyone! We managed to make this episode shorter again.
Thats right rather than the 2hr plus monsters we have had for the last few weeks, we managed to trim this one back down to a mere 1hr and 30 minutes. OK so that’s not a massive reduction but its a step in the correct direction right?
That doesn’t mean we covered any less of the weeks news – quite frankly there was just less going on in the world of gaming that we thought that it was worth talking about. I mean we covered the Wii U updates, talked about the Metro 2033 film possibilities, bitched about a patent troll & even found time to plug the latest Humble Indie Bundle.
Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
