This week we somehow continue talking about Sektori now that Mikey has gotten a taste of it. We also touch on Big Hops, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, and some older games too! We also recap the biggest headlines from the previous week alongside your emails. And somehow, we have a lengthy conversation about Popeye.
