In our most jam-packed episode, yet, we are joined by RPG and anime savant David from the Twin Geekscast to talk all of the talk, every last drop of the talk, about The World Ends With You, the inventive and expressive Nintendo DS rpg gem single-handedly developed by Tetsuya Nomura and no one else. But not before Pavlos is back on his puzzle game/Pokémon spin-off bullshit again and Brogan hands in his report on turkey mounts in Spelunky 2 fresh off the presses. The Hot Takes are the hottest they've ever been, featuring outrageous claims about Zelda, Metroid, and a third thing! Lastly, we are happy to announce we have been acquired by Microsoft for 7.5 billion dollars. This podcast is now available for free via Xbox Game Pass and we'll be introducing support for the Zune family of devices soon. 7.5 BILLION dollars.
