Link to the Cast #364: LoveCom: Merry Christmas

Dave is still alive!

This week, Mark tackles Batman: Arkham City, plus he’s finally bought a PS4 and gives his thoughts on Mortal Kombat X. Dave laments his frustrations with Ether One’s current bug issues, though lets out those frustrations with Wolfenstein: The Old Blood.

Elsewhere, we give thoughts on the Lego: Jurassic World, Capcom’s current business plan, Grand Theft Auto 5 selling a lot of copies, DOOM 4.

Finally, we take a journey back down to Rapture as we explore Ken Levine’s steampunk/horror masterpiece: Bioshock.

Link To The Cast #3- Bioshock

The pod has landed! LTTC is back and talking all the latest in games and nerd culture:

Breath of the Wild's depth has Dave frothing at the mouth
Mass Effect: Andromeda is getting some tepid reviews.
Yet another update on the Great Joycon Debacle of 2017
A Nintendo fan's dream comes true.
The book club this week is an entry from a legendary (geddit?) game series that was surprisingly divisive in its day, but one that has aged like a fine wine and is now regarded as one of its finest hours: The Wind Waker.
