The masterminds behind the Pitch recently guested on Bonfireside Chat and that's a fantastic coincidence given that innovation had previously taken them by storm.

RUN.

This is a goooood ep.

The first half, a little bit about my job history contains some fun stories and some awful ones.

The middle song, a number called Don't No, comes from a little EP I like quite a bit that, in retrospect, is FULL of anxiety about my doomed marriage! Listening back to it is almost embarrassing given how transparent it is. "The idiot chaos in the center of my heart marked a date on a calendar that I had to follow." Criminy!

But the real star of the show is the feral princess to the left here. I don't know why I enjoy it so much, but these fake greatest hits things really tickle me.

This is a very special bonus level where we give the game club treatment to Spec Ops: The Line. We are joined by Jorg Friedrich of Yager Development to discuss the thoughts and motivations that went into the development of the game. Then, the Duckfeed.tv team delves into the emotional impact that this serious and solemn game had on us.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Brayton Cameron talk about Darkroot Basin and the New Londo Ruins.

Dick Dagger: It's more than just an incredibly predictable porn star name. It's what you kill things with in this awful game. Join us as we try and talk about anything and everything but this atrocity.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross enter an altered state to talk about Max Payne.

Your wife and only child are dead, and you want blood. Also, it’s a noir video game. We ultimately express our indifference towards the shooter genre, but we love the presentation bits enough to extend a lot of good will toward it.

We all know the publishing industry is BOOMING. Let's get in on it.

Here's a little bit of cruelty that isn't going to age that well. 

The first bit is something I'm not totally into anymore! I do think it's silly to mourn celebrities, for the most part, but I also realize it's very unkind. If I did this again, I might tone it down a little bit. It does mean that I get to say I wrote a song called Pussystorm USA, however.

The song in the middle, officially titled Victim but that I always refer to as Sad Eyes is a favorite, however.

And finally, more Dinobite action with Gallagher 3, who has been shitting in the litter box.
