So here we are, after all this time at the 150th-ish episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
That said we’re not going to count this one as we are trying to organise another recording where all the group are involved.
But being that we hadn’t recorded in a while we felt like doing so and took the opportunity to try out a new format.
Let us know in the comments if it makes any difference at all.
During our recording we may have spoken about any of the stories linked below the Amplitude Kickstart, Oclus Lawsuits, Watch Dog failings and even a bit of a Dig at Nintendo.
Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
