If Too Long; Didn’t Listen was a movie trilogy, this would be the one with the Ewoks, the Wild West setting, and the Samuel L. Jackson — so you know it’s gotta be good! In this episode we talk about missteps with free-to-play and whether or not the Holy Trinity is on its way out. We’re also celebrating the fact that you can now subscribe to TLDL on iTunes.
You know you would listen to all this if it just wasn’t so… long!
