Who is watching the watchers? Tom F'n Towers and Phil F'n Fogg, that's who!

We talk about a lot of things including incriminating acts of vandalism, friends who eat too much, Stalin, other podcasts and XL Cities (and Shovel Knight), but the big thing we go into this show is the elephant that has been sitting in our kickstarter-funded studio for 51 episodes. Game Reviews. Our personal tastes as well as a complete deconstruction of the literary form.

And what game drove Tom Towers toward never reviewing another game again?  You'll have to listen to find out on this week's Game Under Podcast.

We deciduously avoid the news this week and instead give final impressions of Tearaway and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. And... c'mon, who would not want to hear Tom Towers pass judgement on 50 Cent Blood on the Sand?

We also talk about the best end credits ever, sophomore slumps, narration in games and also argue about if this is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius for games.

Tom Towers also tips his upcoming review of Warlock 2.

Thanks for listening!
