The first ever solo podcast is here! With Samson away, I somehow managed to talk for almost an hour straight! 

We dive into some kind listener and patron emails, Sniper Elite VR reviewed well, Madrid Noir is solid, some Synthriders updates, Chess Club is dope and is VR Lame right now? Or can we expect a big oculus connect in September?
