Welcome to the Goo, Episode 04 “Distractions”: 06.08.2008

Scott and Adam return for Episode 4 with special guest Chris Riccio of Interactive Distractions. They cover what they’re goo-in’, Top 5 Games You Love That Critics Hate, Hardcore vs. Casual, listener e-mail, and much more.

It was a fun new experiment for the guys to deal with 2 local recordings and 1 remote. There are a some echo problems because of the only setup possible, but hopefully it was minimized through the editing process. Enjoy.
