EZK has weighty topics to discuss but I just want to talk about cartoons.

0:12 - All of the Operation Rainfall games are good!

33:13 - Should publishers announce paid DLC before the game is out?

44:33 - Andrew is disappointed that the third sequel to slasher flick "Hatchet" is very bad

53:39 - Netflix for games. Good idea or bad idea?
