This episode, I am joined by my oldest friend, Josh Sullivan, who I've known since I was 4 years old. We discuss our shared history of video gaming, what made our friendship last this long, and MOST of all, our favorite skateboarding games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. The original games are seeing a remaster, available Friday, September 4!
This is a can't-miss episode if you want to learn a bit more about my pre-Harry years than you've ever heard before, and if you're thinking about checking the game out, Josh and I talk about what made (makes?) the franchise great.
