It's episode 10, and it's a big one! This time, we are joined by the bespectacled king of political YouTube (or at least the bit with actually decent politics) - it's only Tom Nicholas! That's right, YouTuber and Nebula maven (check out his original documentary Boomers on there too!) pops onto the podcast to say hello and prove his now undeniable gamer cred.
Because it's a special episode, we have a slightly different format - we're focusing on one game that we've all played: Citizen Sleeper from Jump Over The Age. After that we move onto the news to talk about Marathon plagiarism, the opposing fates of Giant Bomb and Polygon, and a story we're calling "The Gooners' Dilemma" - if you dare.
We're also plugging the upcoming (and guaranteed to be amazing) Games Transformed festival in Bethnal Green, London on 11-12 July: https://buytickets.at/gamestransformed/
