The awful puns return as Scott “K4rn4ge” Smith hangs out with us again this week.

Tons of news to tackle this week as we talk about THQ’s purchase of Koch Media including Deep Silver, Mafia II & Prey hitting the Xbox One BC list, news on the newest Rock Band update, Capcom news and rumors, a hearty discussion on the Artifex Mundi price increases and their statement regarding everything, and tons more including an ungodly number of puns from Scott. Plus reviews!

Dandara is a beautiful Metroidvania style game with unique travel mechanics from Long Hat House & Raw Fury. The Fall Part 2: Unbound continues Over the Moon’s stellar action adventure puzzle trilogy. Dark Mika writes in a review of isometric open world RPG Seven: The Days Long Gone from Fool’s Theory & IMGN.PRO.

Scott checks out the breathtaking VR grappling hook exploration title Windlands and first person grid based dungeon crawler Crystal Rift, both on Windows 10 Mixed Reality from Psytec Games. Pop-Up Pilgrims is a beautiful and strategic puzzle platforming god sim from Dakko Dakko Ltd.

Len Stuart joins to cover the PS4/Vita release of Dragon Sinker, the retro RPG from EXE Create & KEMCO. Chris Taylor covers Aperion Cyberstorm, a multiplayer twin stick bullet hell from aPriori Digital. Fumiko! is a surreal trip through a twisted virtual network from Fumiko Game Studio. DarkMika also sent in a review of The Initiate, a puzzle packed mystery/horror adventure from Deceptive Games.

Finally, we may end the show with only one song, but when it’s a legendary epic like Crystal Flash, you don’t need anything else!
