  • 75: Limipo Plays Gran Turismo Sport

    For our third anniversary, we talk about a game we've been looking forward to for years.

    Editor's note: Due to being recorded via the PS4, the audio for this episode is far below our usual standard. There was significant clipping on Yanik's end and we did what we could to salvage the audio as much as possible.
