The podcast for gamers who overindulge.
We took a break from playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf long enough to record a show! We spend this week trying to pin down what makes Nintendo’s offbeat life simulator so popular, sharing stories from our Animal Crossing history, and discussing where the series could go in the future.
Also, we have your post-E3 reactions to Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4!
