  • In the Jurassic Park Management Danny said a good time to review a podcast is on the toilet. And since I was listening on the toilet, here is a review. The high production value and snappy interviews with the new format (season 2) lead to a podcast with a great sense of flow. The games featured range from AA to Single-Dev-Indie and there is no reason the format won’t work for AAA or Jam games. Great work guys! I better end this review before my leg goes more numb from sitting too long.

NOCLIP Pocket E94 - I Don't Mean the KY - Wet
Q: Did you find this incredibly difficult to get a handle on for the first hour of the game?
Not really, surprisingly. It felt pretty intuitive to me.
