In this episode:
Our very own Aaron and Adam participated in the Global Game Jam this year, and teamed up with Stephen Schulze and Stacey Borg to create a board game in 48 hours. The result: A semi-cooperative board game about building a giant robot to fight a giant space snail. Join us as we take a look back at the weekend that was Global Game Jam 2015. Also, Aaron reads a comic about mythology and ejaculate, Evan and Adam talk about some post-war TV, dating Adolf Hitler, stoner witches and awkward humour, Stephen tells us about ship breakers, Stacey sails on Seas of Scred and we talk about old game manuals.
