E125: Mailbag 6

With another year done and dusted, Pat and James crack open another batch of listener questions.
After curveballs like Killer 7 and Deadly Premonition, these should be a breeze.
Right..?

On this episode, we discuss:

What are the best - and worst - smelling video game levels?

Can you tell us the story of how y’all met and decided to start this podcast?

Was the fear of Baldur’s Gate 2 something you both developed as children?
Or did you just become cowards as grown men?

We answer these questions and many more on Mailbag 6 of the Retro Spectives Podcast!

-

A huge shoutout to everyone who submitted questions this year, this episode wouldn’t have been possible without you.
