Podcast Episode 33 - On the Down...Loaaad....

This week we talk about the magical Valve Employee Handbook, a little more Skullgirls, the frustration of Bioware, the evolution/devolution of gaming reviews, and David's further spiral into his Sonic gaming marathon...


Also edit: I (Eji) mistakenly said buying Diablo 3 grants you a year of WoW, apparently it's the other way around.  Still, it's a smart deal for those who play / will play those games!
