The year is 2010. The world is considerably less futuristic than Hollywood led us to believe. Aside from that, we get some new recording equipment, and do the podcast in REVERSE ORDER. First a rambling chat on the similarities, disparities, and uniqueities (not a word) between the year’s first two big (and only) releases: Bayonetta and Darksiders.
