There's a new/old Zelda game coming out and we've got things to say about it! We also talk about what we've been playing with Grubb playing Orbitals, Dan and Mike spending more time in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Jan playing board games with Hues and Cues, and Bakalar checking out The Sinking City 2! We also catch up on Fantasy Critic, your emails, and MORE!
