We love adventure games, and we love Xbox. So seeing the two of them finally come together has been a treat, and this week we’re geeking out over the just-released Xbox Live Arcade adventures of Sam & Max. We chat with co-designer Brendan Ferguson about the series’ past, its reception from the Xbox audience, what to expect out of future installments, and more!

NOTE: Technical difficulties prevented us from uploading the show on Friday. Sorry about that.

Welcome to our new home at Podbean! If you’re reading this, it probably means you’ve found out that we have a new feed and a new host. Hopefully you’ll tell all your friends so we can get everybody back on the bandwagon. It’s not the most convenient solution, we know, but our old site got to be in such bad shape that it was best to just put it out of its misery and move on.

Anyway, this week we’re fielding your random calls from the KOXM Voice Mailbox, detailing the games coming up in Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade program — including their prices and release dates — and unexpectedly celebrating the return of…MechWarrior! Yes!!!!!!
