Episode 600: Toe Jam & Earl (Patreon)

Jeremy: Patron Scott Rothman joins us (myself, Kevin Bunch, and Stuart Gipp) again for this episode, wherein we take a dive into the weirdly innovative Toe Jam & Earl series. It will never cease to amaze me that the first proper distillation of Rogue's principles into an action milieu came in the form of a wacky action game about weird-looking aliens with a predilection for rap music. An unlikely pairing! But, as we explain here, an extremely good one.
