015: Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

We use our Tools of Destruction to annihilate Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. Moe, Jacob, Mike and special guest Thomas Riess talk about the value of the circle strafe, shuriken and totally forget about the Uncharted series for a second (Jacob is really sorry for that). “Why are you playing this game on hard?” Our next episode launches on Halloween (October 31st) and we are playing Costume Quest! Grab the game on your platform of choice and join us.
