Deep Listens

The days get shorter, the nights get longer, and the games get much worse during this special time of year. It's the Kusolstice, and this year we celebrate with noted Saturn turd Virtual Hydlide. And to make the holidays even more festive, we've got Nick "PandaMonium" Broadway from The Internet to help explore and document this dismal object.
