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!
