Episode 110: Spreading misinformation for fun
Episode description
It's a new week, and that means we're looking at the latest in gaming news and sharing what games we're playing, but it also means we're testing out a new segment: rating a silly Nintendo Direct "leak" on our very own Nintendo DS scale of foolishness (shout out to the No Dunks podcast for the idea).
Let us know what you think about the segment! Like it? Hate it? Want us to rate a different silly leak? Tweet at us or email us :)
