This episode gets off to an emotional start, which I wanted to draw everyone's attention to. Dan lost his dad a couple of weeks ago, hence the podcast taking a slight hiatus. I hope you'll all join me in wishing Dan the best and extending your condolences.

Dan's sister has set up a fundraiser for charity in his name. Consider sharing or donating to it if you'd like to:

We also discuss the bankruptcy of AlphaDream, Marvel's Avengers game, Yooka-Laylee: The Impossible Lair, the brilliance of Metroid Prime Hunters and lots more.
