Welcome to  Show 152!

It's been awhile hasn't it? Having survived two bouts of serious illness, one reorganization of the workplace and still surviving a foot and a half of snow in one 24 hour period we are back.  WARNING:  This time out the show is a more serious one.  We start out with a discussion of some of the most controversial games of all time.  We follow up with a discussion of the new game "Hatred."  In the second half of the show we talk about violence directed at videogame developers, and journalists. TAKE NOTE: THE SHOW CARRIES AND EXPLICIT RATING.
