Specs won a competition and went to go and play a Nintendo Switch. Was it any good? Not really. There, I saved you two hours.

Happyman toiled while editing this episode. Catsman apologizes again.

Help test Lawyer Guy: Tetrahedron Alley

The new level for Lawyer Guy is now complete. Amongst other things, it introduces the ‘portable checkpoint’ mechanic, which allows Lawyer Guy to place down a checkpoint anywhere in the level.

If you’d like to help test Lawyer Guy, shoot an email to come@mebro.co.uk and I will send you a playable build. The level might still have some rough edges! After I’ve rounded them down, I will release it publicly. You are allowed\encouraged to stream anything I send you (sorry, no prizes, unless you want more Bad Rats), and anyone who fills in the feedback form will get their name\alias in the Lawyer Guy credits.

Love, Cats

PS: Podcast… maybe next weekend? Not this immediate one, the one starting on the 14th. I will be polling people throughout the month. Please make sure you’ve watched the book club TV show if you want in on that discussion.

The Reports of my Death are Mostly True

Hello cattlepokes. First, I would like to drop in to apologize for not being around more often. I have booked 2 weeks of holiday for christmas, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to do a chunk of Lawyer Guy development sometime then (and maybe watch out for a stream from me\dodds\the other one!).

Second: podcast. Happyman is putting Family Feud on hiatus while we brainstorm new questions. Until then, I am proposing to fill the void as follows:
1) Get back on the video game movie\TV book club wagon (no cattlepoke reference intended). I proposed Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 16 episode 14 – Intimidation Game (boy, that’s a mouthful). And yes, I promise it’s about video games.
2) For a while now I’ve just been bringing interesting things I found on the internet and\or things that annoyed me. I would now like to extend that to a more general segment. Bring anything you think is interesting! I will try and bring something every podcast to get the ball rolling.

Love, Catsman
