Retronauts returns to the age of dial-up and low poly counts with a grab bag of topics relating to the magical decade known as the 1990s. Boot up your favorite minidisc player, crack open a can of Surge, and unroll the nearest Fruit by the Root and prepare yourself for series of discussions about a time when we were all less surly.

Listen to a half hour's worth of spoiler-free discussion on the 3DS's first major release of 2012, along with follow-up thoughts on Journey (also spoiler-free!), quick impressions of PixelJunk 4AM and Lollipop Chainsaw, some scattershot news and GDC thoughts, and more talk from Hiroko than you've heard in the last 10 episodes combined.

This is the episode where Sam is invisible... Because he's not there.

13 really is an unlucky number as this 13th episode was rendered completely obsolete before it was published. Neat! Please enjoy guest Dan Stapleton on this totally moot discussion about what creators owe us vis-a-vis the Mass Effect 3 ending debate.
