November 02Level 426 - Oops! All Treats
This Week's Panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose, wildwest08

Show Discussion - wildwest08 joins Big Ell and KooshMoose minutes before we hit the button to record. We talk about the ID@Xbox event that no one seems to know happened as well as Xbox cracking down on shovelware triple-stacks and other news from the week. Eventually we let wildwest08 talk about EA shutting down BioWare and the loss of Mass Effect. In fact, we bet that if you @ him on the Discord he'll be happy to talk about it. Now, if you want to talk about your flower sorting strategies or a lovely bit of shrubbery...

Games Mentioned:
wildwest08 - Winter Burrow
KooshMoose - Tidy Up the Flower Shop
Bill Ell - Various Games for Trick of Treat
