The Schlub Cast

E3 came and went, and now the video game corner of the Schlub Cast is here to express their opinion about everything they saw and felt from the E3 2018 press conferences.

In this 3 hour long mammoth of an episode, Mike and Danny, and briefly Niko for the first half, talk about everything E3 2018 over the course of two recording sessions and two types of audio quality.

They laugh, they cry, one of them dies. All in the name of cutting edge video games.

The first half of this episode was recorded over the internet, so apologies for the audio quality About halfway through the episode we return to our usual schlubby audio quality one would expect from this podcast.

Thanks to everyone who downloads and listens. And a very special thanks to anyone that stuck it out through this whole episode.
