In this episode:

Apologies for our lackluster audio in this episode as we had a few Skype Issues (TM). Nonetheless, we had a wonderful chat with Nicole and Jason Stark about their upcoming game, Ninja Pizza Girl, which was just funded on Kickstarter. We also talked about their experiences in indie game development, tried to tease out some more information about Ninja Pizza Girl, and geeked out about our favourite board games!
