Left Behind Game Club: A Video Game Podcast

025: Journey

Listen Later

We float on with some very long scarves in Journey.

Developer: Thatgamecompany | Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment | Release Date: March 12, 2012

Jacob, special guest Travis Colenutt and a quarantined Mike hide from Guardians, shred their scarves, float high and talk about aquatic life. “I’m the bubble boy!”

A quick programming note: we had originally planned to release our Zombi/ZombiU episode this week but have moved that episode to March 7th. Apologies for the change. Our March 21st episode is FTL: Faster Than Light.
