Episode 80 – UMBNews October 2015

October 8, 2015

News time Blockers!

Hello everyone, time for a long overdue news episode. In n effort to further play around with the format of the news shows, I’m joined by my buddy and fellow retro game enthusiast Brian Demodulated (https://twitter.com/demodulated). He is the host of the ever-amazing Square Waves FM podcast (http://squarefm.demodulated.com/) and I thought it’d be fun to get some of his thoughts on recent happenings in the world of retro-ish game news.

Here’s the rundown of stories we cover:
