This week, Brent, Adam, and Ryan discuss a smattering of games, primarily Spacebase DF9, Adam: The Game, and Borderlands 2, and then learn why Super Mario 3D Land is terrible. The main course for this episode is an extended discussion of Ben Kuchera's "It's time to leave the brothels and strip clubs behind when real victims fuel your narrative" article on Polygon and how Kuchera shot himself in the foot when trying to create a conversation.
