    Dave Lang has a long and impressive career in the deep trenches of cool video games I played in the 90's and 2000's and was partly responsible for bringing two of my favorite twists on the fighting genre to the public: 2013's Divekick and 2022's own Rumbleverse (Season 1 out now!). I am very fortunate to be able to call Dave an internet acquaintance and we're all very lucky he agreed to be on this episode... also this amazing conversation about The Fast and The Furious between me and Dave that has got to be the closest I ever got to letting anyone shit on Tokyo Drift.

    In our first episode I welcome video producer, licensed pilot and meme emeritus, Mister Drew Scanlon. You may know him from Giant Bomb, from the Blinking White Guy meme or from his great docuseries Clothmap in which he travelled to many countries to know more about their culture especially in relation to games. We flew around in a French videogame and then in an American one to see which was the jankiest one and the answer... Might not shock you at all. I mean, look at the name of the show.
