On this episode of the podcast, co-hosts Kiley Wilde and Pete Beckett are joined by regular contributor and “friend of the show” Miketendo64 to discuss our recent visit to W.A.S.D.
To those who aren’t in the know, W.A.S.D is a gaming convention in London UK with a heavy focus on showcasing games from various independent studios. Mike and Pete recently visited for their 2nd year.
What did we think of the convention? Was it better than last year? Could make some improvements next year. Find out on the episode.
