The Frogsnacks Podcast!

In the guys' most difficult to title episodes, Frog and Snacks try to define points on the spectrum of the purposes of game design from the purely single player, to the persistent world of EVE Online. Snacks brings up Cel-Damage, which is a bad game that you probably have not played, and the dudes talk about what makes Borderlands so awesome. 

The guys take a pretty disappointing look at the sordid history of video game movies, but try to showcase the promising future ahead, with the likes of Blizzard and Sony getting on the silver screen with a few of their IPs. An astonishing amount of Pokemon movies have been released, Nintendo might be creaking the door they slammed shut on Hollywood 23 years ago, and Capcom literally has no shame when it comes to movies.
