Having survived yet another March 12, 25, 28, AND 31, Jim and Sean are back in the podosphere (or perhaps Pleasuredome?) with their deep introspective look into a pair of shooty games that are older than some of this podcast’s listeners. Good on ya, luv; good on ya. And of course the usual features are … Continue reading Episode 150: Stargate and Total Carnage →

Happy holidays! (Many have happened since our last episode.) After much contemplation, debate, soul searching, and just plain dillydallying, Sean and Jim decided that after doing this podcast for almost ten years…it was time to just…record and release episode 149.
