Link To The Cast

A day late, and a Robinson short, Link to the Cast is here. But fear not gentle listener as we have more than made up for his absence with the return of Brian McNamara to the program! Join the lads as they chat about all sorts:

*Brian is still playing Fallout 4

*Dave is back on his Bioshock Infinite nonsense.

*A Sonic the Hedgehog CG/live action movie?

*NPD numbers look great for Monster Hunter and Nintendo

And it wouldn't be a Brian episode if the Book Club wasn't firmly in his wheelhouse. This week we talk about the essential RTS series Age of Empires.

LTTC Season 4 Theme- ‘Main Theme 8-BIT-ARMS’ by Loeder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uz3p03cOP0

We only bloody made it to Episode 100!

On this very special episode, we have decided to call back some of our special guests (some might say friends) from over the years to talk about the first game they played or the game that really struck a chord and has stayed with them ever since. Mark and Dave are super chuffed and grateful to everyone who helped put this episode together - and to everyone who has helped over the years.

Of course, we also want to thank everyone that has listened to us both ramble since Episode One. Though we may not have gotten any better, at least the audio quality has.

Kefin Mahon: @KefinMahon

Brian Mcnamara: @cargin4107

Peter Willington: @xeroxeroxero

Jack Layzell: @JackLayzell
