Episode 309: The Meta-Porridge Cascade Scenario

1 hour 28 minutes

Alex and Marsh take a jaunty journey into the depths of Hades and wander the Streets of Rogue. The RNs are very much G’d, gorillas freed and the roguelikes liked, to varying degrees. Also: patch note heresies and our favourite offal.

Yosser might?

Resurrect Dig Dug II!

Squid or Bung?

Candy Crush was made by King, for the record.

Look at all the garbage inventory I drew for Sir, You Are Being Hunted.
