The GO is taking some much needed time away from the studio and spending the holidays with their families and friends. So in place of the regular episode, we’re revisiting a couple topics from prior episodes. This week, we’re featuring the topics “Renaming Genres” and “Early Access vs. 1.0.” In between these two, Alyssa stops by to talk about Red Bow, and David gives his thoughts on Outlaws 2: Heritage.
