For this episode we talked to the multifaceted illustrator and comic book artist Kat Leyh. Kat let us interview her in her work space at her Chicago Apartment (that’s the Red Line passing by in the background), which we discovered would only be her apartment for just a few more days when she moves to San Diego! Anyway, Kat talked to us about the scary and complicated word of full-time freelancing, sharing some very insightful advice for anyone else contemplating making the jump, talked a bit acceptance in the comics world and on the internet, and filled us in on what she has been working on and what’s ahead. A special thanks to Iron Galaxy Studios for providing support for this episode, and to The Chicago Podcast Cooperative.

Isn't it weird how pretty much everyone thinks Phantom Menaces are bad but Phantom Pains are good? Wait, is that an offensive thing to say? At any rate, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen dig into one of the most anticipated new games of the year this week, the fifth installment of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, and they have really positive things to say about it! Warning: spoilers abound.  Thanks to our sponsors for the episode, Iron Galaxy Studios, and thanks as always to the Chicago Podcast Coop!

When it comes to superheroes, Batman is pretty much the coolest... but his games haven't always lived up to the character. Today, Kellen, Clayton, and guest Andy Junk sit down to chat about the many video game permutations of the Caped Crusader, along with some comics and movies! Special attention is paid to the Arkham games, of course, but we're going all the way back to the NES for this one. Also, amazingly, three knowledgeable people more or less agree that Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns is vastly overrated (which it is!).  This episode is sponsored by Iron Galaxy Studios. Thanks Iron Galaxy, and thanks Chicago Podcast Coop!

You may have wondered whatever happened to Talking Games co-creator Tim Dunn these last few months - sure, he checked in remotely a couple times, but did he make it off his cruise alive? The answer, of course, is yes, and this week Clayton and Kellen spend the episode catching up with Tim, answering crucial questions like "What kind of games do you play on a boat" and "What console did Tim by upon getting back?" You know, the queries philosophers have pondered for centuries. Plus, get ready for a new Talking Games status quo! Thanks to our sponsors for this episode, Iron Galaxy Studios, and to the Chicago Podcast Coop for their support!
