Watch Out for Fireballs! 122: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross excoriate Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

This episode isn't for the faint of heart... What started out as a well-intentioned desire to talk about a beloved action-adventure game turned into a hit piece against an entire era and genre of games. But we cite our sources, and go to great pains to remind you: Just because we don't like this game doesn't mean we don't like you.

Early Release Access

Hey everyone, another quick update with some much-needed info. Some of you already subscribe to the early release feed, but I haven't been very good about publicizing the URL for new backers. Truth is there's no ideal way to handle this without pestering everyone, and I'm constantly uncertain about the way we implement the Early Release feed (we have some big changes coming to our infrastructure sometime soon).

So, here's a URL for you to use... keeping in mind that it could change any day...
