Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast

Cliff is joined by John (AKA Oddtrots on Twitch) for one of our favourite shows, Starcade. Are we covering the episode because of the number? Or is it because a grown arse man takes on a child who is seemingly wearing the same clothes as him? Or is it so we can find how Mr Pickle died in suspicious circumstances? Well... maybe all of the above. Watch the episode of Starcade here.Follow John on Twitch and check out his podcast.Mr Biffo's Found Footage episode.Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on BlueSkyFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com
