This week John, Tyler and Andrew are joined by very special guest Mark Yetter from TimeGate Studios to talk about Section 8 Prejudice. A downloadable follow-up to the original Section 8, which was a full priced retail release.

The guys pump Mark for as much info as they can, from how the game went from retail to download to many aspects of gameplay. At almost an hour it’s a fairly extensive interview so get listening!
