This is it folks, the last weekly TRS. Starting from next Monday The Totally Rad Show will be going daily with a segment every weekday.

That being said Alex and Dan have alot of praise for the game, Dan comments that while the humour is vulgar it’s often clever in its approach. Alex is really high on the game, he seems very taken by the nostalgic nature...
