Episode 122: Welcome Back!
We're back (at least for this week)! There's a lot of stuff to talk about since we've been gone. The worst being the horrible untimely passing of PAC and Jeff Cannonball. Much less serious is the use of AI bringing new life into old games, Mattel's DC reveals, UPW Showcase, and more.

The UPW fun just does not end. Mike Straw of Insider Gaming released an in-depth article on the troubles behind the game. Turns out, we've got a lot to say about it.
