In this the 150th RPGrinder Spectacular episode we talk to Greg Kasavin from Super Giant Games about his journey from journalism to game development and of course the studios first title Bastion.

Also we zoom through the week's RPG news, we talk about the 3DS price drop, freaking zombie dogs, and the long awaited origin of Frank Branches! Thanks to Rob Workman (@TheDCD), Chris Spratt (@therealspratt), and chatter Kaijudo for joining in the discussion.

This episode starts off with a bang as we reveal a couple of announcements, one of them bigger than the other. I would spoil it for you but then that would ruin the fun wouldn't it? In this scintillating episode we discuss the difficulty of games, what exactly is otome, and online shenanigans for Dark Souls. Fun episode for all!

A shorter than normal show (well at least for the past few weeks). Vincent impresses all the ladies as he shows his podcasting prowess (ahem) at a local coffee shop. We still manage to bring you all of the latest and greatest in RPG news for the week as we talk Square Enix tidbits, a possibility of Dragon Quest X being compatible with the Wii and Wii U, and a new facebook application called Vatican Wars. A special birthday wish for Wifex (Frank's wife)- Happy Birthday !!! The chicks definitely dig Vincent in a coffee shop in this episode, enjoy!
