This week's edition is a huge one. We'll be talking about all things Sierra, plus the Big Box past and interactive fiction present of text adventures. 

Please fast forward to https://youtu.be/g_g4xNlBfC8?t=2m21s while we fix a camera focus glitch.

We'll also have our usual show and tell, this time including big box games we own, but have yet to play.
