Exquisite Suffering 42: A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia
Added 2018-04-04 21:05:00 +0000 UTCDavid Crane was a foundational figure in early video games, but that man loved him some obtuse mechanics. "A Boy and His Blob" drew in lots of kids with its E.T.-esque storyline, but repelled a lot of them because it's not the kind of game that wants you to play it. We dig into this, and more, but also try to pick the right pet for Kole.

The whole extended Turt conversation had me laughing harder than any podcast has in ages, I loved it.
