Hey Podtimists,

This week David makes a meal out of appetizers and plays a whole bunch of games. Then Chase talks about that hot new-new called Blue Prince. Is it good? The internet seems to be undecided!

We also took a look at one of the most brutal games of all time, Kuru Kuru Kururin. This was suggested to us by listeners Guardian and also Sam. Thanks to you both!
