About A Murmur Or Two: A Podcast About Hellgate London
In 2007, Hellgate London launched to mixed-reviews. Less than a year later, the development team behind the game fell apart. Thirteen years later, two friends revisit the ambitious action-RPG that killed Flagship Studios through the three spin-off novels it inspired.
The first stop on The Golden Path has arrived! Fergus and Nicole take a look at the first volume of Kieron Gillen's DIE comic series. Thoughts are exchanged, takes are thrown around and an attempt to cleanly end the episode with a fun bit goes awry.
