Did you ever ask your parents to buy you a game based solely on the cover art? Or perhaps because it was based on an IP you like? You knew nothing about the actual gameplay, just that it looked cool? That's basically what Shane did here. He's very sorry. ---------- Today's Guest Information Name: Rick Firestone Bio: A native of Southwestern Pennsylvania, Rick Firestone is the host of the Pixel Project Radio podcast, a gaming discussions show that is equal parts narrative analysis and varying levels of bad jokes.
