The team threatened it for a while and now they have made good on that threat: this is a musical episode! Not entirely, but they got inspired by the Ravensburger game, Villainous.

The team has once again tried to over work Intern Xteve with their shenanigans in this review of Last Bastion. A BIG thank you to listener Michael for sending this one, the team does FINALLY get around to giving a review on how the game plays. Oh, look at this, Reverend D is doing another voice and derailing the show. At least it's somewhat entertaining. We get a lesson on animals that Xteve had to find music for it. James and Bill in the second half of the show bring up future plans for the show and war gaming. And after the outro, we have a fact about Jack Black.

We finally did it folks! It’s time to take a dive and sink some ships in U-Boot! Did our hosts succeed and sink many ships or did the sub break down right after launch (it did). We get an unofficial education in naval vessels from Bill and James, as well as a peak into their history in the navy. We’ve got an update on the Sony Playstore. And we have a SECOND review for your pleasure, a game sent to us by an awesome designer. Are you artistic? Were you just saying that to be cool? You Said You Could Draw is a fun party game where you put your artistic skills to the test, but there’s a twist. Be sure to check out the kickstarter, link is in the description. And be sure to check out Kitsune Treasures as well, link is also in the description.
