We finally did it. At the late hours of Wednesday last week, Dan and I recorded a Walking Dead podcast. Join us as we recap the first 4 episodes of TellTale's epic Walking Dead game. But, you've been warned: We spoil EVERYTHING. Listen at your own risk!
We're back again! Barely! Had to start the show with 2/3 of the crew, but Eric swoops in to save us just in time! Join us as we ramble on about Resident Evil, Super Hexagon, and more!

Yeah, we promised we'd have a discussion about Walking Dead 3 weeks ago. But you know what came out last week? Freaking Borderlands 2, that's what. So, saddle up your "Butt Stallion" and join us for a discussion of the very best loot based shooter of all time.
And there's some news.

In this episode of Broken Embargo, Caleb and Eric fly solo. So, that means we don't talk Walking Dead, like we promised, cause Eric is still behind. But we'll be back to that next week!
Listen in as we chat about the indie Kickstarter funded game FTL, and the amazing stealth sidescroller Mark of the Ninja. And, as always, we rapid fire hit the news.
