29. Which game character would you want to help you move?
Moving. It’s a ballache. You know it and God knows I know it. What you need is reinforcements from the roster of the widest trove of freaky characters this side of Marvel comics. But WHO is the chara…
'Grand Theft Auto V' (PS3, 2013)

Which character should become our 4th podcast host?
Let's be honest, it's clear this podcast is treading water. Taking *on* water. It's time for new blood. Just like sometimes you have to add Danny DeVito to a show to make it the best thing in existen…
