Join the gang this week as we discuss the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise and try to decypher exactly what went wrong in it's storied 22 year history.

But first Penrod celebrates his Birthday by romancing Keith David in Saints Row IV, David spends time in League of Legends only to be berated and yelled at, Aaron has No Time To Explain because he's been in a coma for two weeks, and Kyle has buyers remorse......and forgets to turn his mic up. Sorry for the inconsistent audio in the first half!

Apologies all around.
