Summary
For the first time ever on the podcast we're discussing some studio closures and the tenuous position that XBox is in. Thankfully, we balance this bleakness out with some very fun games we've been playing! Tommy's having a great time proving that he's one of the dumbest people on Earth by purchasing the Virtual Boy and Ben''s been having a spookily good time with Reanimal!
