ell wouldn’t you know it—Press Pause Radio has done the one thing they haven’t done in pretty long while; record an actual podcast…

Yup, aside from all of the reviews, and features, and Play Plays, we were all able to hop back into the studio after a month long break; so as you can imagine, we’re playing a whole lot of catch-up in this episode. Andrew, Ser, and George pick things right up with Mountain Lions, Fatherhood, Hyrule Warriors, Destiny, Craigslist, Mortal Kombat X, infamous First Light, Crypt of The Necrodancer, Neo Geo CD, terrible relationship advice, Twin Tiger Shark, the definition of an indie game, and more!

Try to keep up, hell, who’re we kidding, we get sort of lost on this ride ourselves, but what else should we have we expected? We’re just happy to be back!
