Monday Morning Catch-Up: 4-1-19

We got a lot of game announcements this week so it’s a new games packed episode. I talked a lot about the Sega Genesis Mini, which is available for pre-order but doesn’t seem to have the desperate fervor of previous classic consoles…which could be good or bad? We will see!

Follow our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/brotherlyloveg1 where tonight (April 1) at 8:30pm I’ll be streaming the first level of The Messenger and talking about why it’s worth playing.

Theme Song is “Getting It Done” by Kevin MacLeod.
