    Can we stop playing these long-awaited, highly anticipated games already? Someone is bound to get hurt! The Lads sat down with special (and repeat) guest Haley Silver to talk about our favorite web-slinger for Season 4: Chapter 3 with Insomniac's Spider-Man 2. We show Haley the ways of the baby and lament on our woes with the sequel and perhaps set our expectations a bit too high. Like the show?

Listen to hear our thoughts on one of gaming's biggest disappointments, a game that has fell completely out of the conversation mere months after release and not a single "arrow to the knee".
