Join us as we struggle to find nice things to say about the 360/PS3 "Classic" Alice Madness Returns and reflect on bad games we played as a kid and how that helps us view games today. This episode was recorded a month ago and some life happening have put us on a temporary hiatus. We will start recording again here soon but we hope you enjoy this bonus episode in the meantime.
