It’s that time of the week again, and we come to you with new and improved audio. I can assure you that the quality is improved over our previous episodes, but it may takes us a few podcasts to make the most of this new equipment. Today we discuss new TF2 developments, a potential Dead Space 2 collector’s edition, game development for kids and many other things on this week’s podcast.
