Ep. 10 ~ Redundant E3 2019 Podcast

We're the Unversed Cast, a group of four misfits who talk about vidja games on the Interwebz! We talk about current gaming news, and also review games from popular series in retrospectives! We also read bad fanfiction in a segment we call Uncle Mike's Fanfic Corner! But most of all, we like to share laughs and observations together as friends.
