Lol in the first 30 seconds, good job Frank.
i just listened to issues 1-15 & this episode feels like it came out about a month before Halo 4 came out. Great one guys!
we played little league baseball and we took showers, not baths
ESPER!!!
I watched someone else watch the 2021 game awards today and in doing so learned of the existence of slitterhead. Weird to hear it mentioned here, the same day I learned it was even a thing. Worth noting that I'm generally uninformed about video games. I didn't even know there was an Xbox showcase recently lol.
Great to hear the person behind the edit, great job as always guys
No bad Keith David roles, man elevates any project he's part of
esper time!
Loving the art direction for demon school.
37:13 Dual wield hadn't been in a FPS? Goldeneye with dual Klobbs, sirs! Y'all even brought up the game earlier in the episode
Esper you did great! Havent heard you on insert credit before and don't know if you have direct podcasting experience, but you seemed really comfortable and polished and should be on more often! 😎
