Description
Thought experiment of the week: Is "not as bad as you thought" a negative review or a positive one?
Tom and Dean talk about SGDQ, the massive original Xbox controller, and briefly touch on the new Battletoads, amidst a rant about how much we hate modern airline travel.
Then, we discuss UK-only release Action Man: Robot Atak, a game which has us digging into the history a 1960s line of European G.I. Joe-like toys... and the unfortunate two-season animated series it spawned in 2000. Along the way, we will discuss how many checkpoints is too many checkpoints, and how this game found that line and then tripled it.
