Hello everyone! I want to apologize first hand about the audio issues. I don't know what happen but do listen with headphones and sorry for the feedback. I'm joined by Josh Brant from Life Of Gaming podcast to discuss Heavy Rain. Instead of doing a retrospective, the discussion dealt with how a dad, like Josh, felt about this game after playing it. We talk about how a real dad feels dealing with what to sacrifice and making decision, the comparisons of The Last Of Us and Heavy Rain, and why a game like this matter and many aren't bringing this narration to the audience. There will be a part 2 in the future and with better audio. You can email the show at myop2comment@yahoo.com and follow me on twitter @thatretrocode. You can hear more on theanomalistradionetwork.podbean.com, Soundcloud, Google Play, iTunes, and other podcast apps. Have a fun week or weekend everyone and once again, I apologize for the audio.
