We are almost done. This is it folks, the end is near. Of course I am talking about the end of the year and not the show. We wouldn’t do that to you, unlike some shows would…*sniffle*…Sons of Anarchy. Anyway, we are getting down to the wire and with this week’s episode we get into the recent trend of crossover movies, broken video games (because that’s a trend now) and the current state of JRPGs and Square Enix. We’ve only got two more episodes to close out the year and then it’s the end…of the year. So take a break and listen to our show about stuff…and sex, but not really.

Let it begin… the show now!

What we’ve been checking out:
Shawn: Sons of Anarchy Finale
Earl: White PS4 controller, Breaking Bad special edition

Audio notes: (1hr. 3min. runtime)
0:04:15 – Movie crossovers, 21 Jump Street X Men in Black, and Paranormal Destination
