This week we thought we'd do something out of character and review a game that was actually released within living memory - Tetris Effect for the PS4. So join the lads as they talk about this latest iteration of the famous Tetris franchise, and try to pinpoint what it is that makes this game so darn fun. Also in this riveting episode: AC is dead and has been replaced by a mouse with a soundboard, Rob is still alive but dead on the inside, and Peppers the Wonder Horse is somehow still alive, plus there's more Read Dead Redemption 2 talk, Rob's daughter's swimming lessons, AC's Christmas holiday plans, and scavenging laser disc players in 2018. Plus a fun quiz about the history of Tetris! **** For more geeky podcasts that are 100% certified "Geekerrific" (patent pending MFers) head on over to the Gonna Geek Network, at www.gonnageek.com ****

And speaking of things that aren't in any way bad or lame, you really should check out our sister show, Game/Life Balance US that has just made its triumphal return to podcastery after a lengthy hiatus. Believe it or not they are actually pretty good at podcasting, so if you'd like a useful comparator for how bad our show is, check out their audio stylings at www.gamelifebalance.us **** When music is needed, there's only once place to go - the Me and My Shadow bandcamp page DUH! Duhhhh. You idiot. They make music, just like the music you hear at the start and end of our show because, get this, THEY ACTUALLY MADE THE MUSICS! So while you're recovering from that shocking revelation, why not (WHY THE EFF NOT) head on down to meandmyshadow.bandcamp.com ****
