Episode fifty one sees Pip still in recovery from The International, so Tom is instead joined by Laura Dale, Lucy Morris and Hannah Bunce. Lucy tells us about playing DayZ with broken legs while Hannah tells us why Wolf Among Us is grittier than The Walking Dead. Laura has been exploring Itch.io and finding a bunch of strange, small indie games and Tom has been gaming like it’s 1999 with King of Dragon Pass. Also included: our favourite tutorials, rampant speculation about the new Bioware game and interactive fiction wordplay puzzler Counterfeit Monkey.
