Stay ConnectedA comedy game design podcast by two guys who know nothing about comedy nor game design.

Alexander Krause returns to the hosting chair after his stint in the Antarctic Studio, much to Ben and Trev's chagrin. Games discussed include.
Trevor and Ben are joined this week by videogame curator Jim Fishwick to explore the history of a much overlooked genre: the 2nd Person Shooter.
