Happy Birthday, You Little Freak: 15 Years of Limbo

On this week's show, we force Dave to play a video game and discuss the seminal puzzle platformer, Limbo, for the game's 15 year anniversary. We chat about the history of the game's development, try to interpret its artistic meaning, and laugh at some of the gruesome ways the shadowy little boy meets his untimely demise.
