Experience Kills - Episode 29: A Double Header & Mass Effect Hype
0The Bicker Bro's are back, it's been months but it's a rare double header from Ben and Rob as Cam switched careers and makes some awesome positive changes (congratulations to Richard as well), we hope to have him back very soon.
Lots of news, a discussion of Mortal Kombat 2021 and plenty of tangents dominate this episode.
