The TouchArcade Show - 148 - A Gauntlet of Bummers

Summary: The week following GDC, we're still down exactly one Mike Meade, but that doesn't stop Jared and I from recording a rockin' podcast. We talk about Gunnar gaming glasses, Pam's birthday, iOS games, and the ridiculous onslaught of bummer news this week... Including, but not limited to the Threes / 2048 drama and what there is to do about the crazy state of clone madness on the App Store. Don't forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to podcast@toucharcade.com. We read 'em all, even if they don't make it into the podcast.
