Do you ever become addicted to games? We do sometimes. Maybe. Okay, so we get super-addicted to everything all the time, so what? WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?!
*ahem*
Anyway, this episode is all about video game addictions. After we unveil our recently played games, we get right into our discussion, which includes things from games the Podunkast crew gets addicted to to games that other gamers tend to get addicted to and so on. We also answer a community question while Khorne attempts to find something to talk about for New Zealand Khorner.

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
