Dead Tired Dads

WELCOME to the April News episode of the Dead Tired Dads Podcast. In this episode Josh gets free stuff, and debate rages over Game Informer's selection process for the greatest game of all time (even if the outcome is accurate).

In this brand new Dead Tired Dads Podcast episode Matt returns (and this time you can hear him!). There's a lot of talk about Street Fighter II, Street Fighter the Movie, and Street Fighter the Movie the Game (it's confusing but that's ok). Ryan reviews Persona 3, Josh sorta reviews Myst on Occulus and Hawked, and Matt reviews the new Battle Royale mode in WOW, then talks about Unicorn Overlord, and reviews Final Fantasy VII for the Switch. This episode is chock full of nuts so get some.
