June 14, 2023 Season 2.5: Episode 2 - Only 3%, So No Cort?, & Nostalgia (ft. Professor Kevin John)
Is the audio potentially a little scuffed? Maybe? But what would a Knights of the D-pad Season be without scuff?
This episode we're joined by BYU Professor Kevin John and not joined by Cort. Listen as we discuss Twitch continuing to shoot themselves in the foot, Blizzard with brilliant Diablo Ads in NY, and (the main focus of the episode) Nostalgia in gaming. Hope you enjoy!
