Eric and Jon (SSMP) discuss the recent closure of Tale of Tales and debate whether or not there’s adequate support for artistic games. They also dive into Her Story before Jon plays Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party on his Wii U and Eric raves about Sense8.
Note: Blast Theory has been around since 1991, not 1999. Eric apologizes for the error.
