This is the very first time either of us tries the new version! Join us and help us assess all the new changes/heroes!

Next Tuesday we'll be chatting with the legendary Eric Chahi (Out of This World/Another World, Future Wars, From Dust) on the show, primarily to talk about his incredible Paper Beast (which we can't recommend more highly in VR), and surely some other things too.

Send us your questions!

We'll be talking to Jon Ingold of Inkle Studios this week about their stirring adventure game A Highland Song.

Send us any questions for Jon by Thursday!
