SPOILER WARNING! We spoil a ton of games for people during this. We don't even warn people at some points.

Top Down Perspective Pinball Mini-Cast

New Record! Its the shortest episode in the history of the podcast! Basically, Sean had a bunch of school stuff, Jon had to bounce in maybe thirty minutes but Nathan wanted to talk about Pinball at least a little bit so this is what there is. Not much beyond that is discussed, though "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" is chastised and "Tetris Axis" and "Resident Evil 4" manage to gain a mention. Our regular length podcast shall return shortly in a new (and improved?) format later in the week. Hope this tides you over till then. Oh, and no music cause editing is LAME.
