Turtle Jump Podcast (video games)

Hi! And welcome to the Turtle Jump Show: the video game podcast of your hearts, and ours! Destiny, Bungie's massively multiplayer online first person shooter science fiction game thing, recently grew larger thanks to the House of Wolves expansion. The content includes new stories, a new strike, new PvP maps, new weapons and armor, two new modes, and more! But is it good? Is it fun? Is it cool and dope and such? We give our thoughts and opinions in this episode.

Hi! And welcome to the Turtle Jump Show: the video game podcast of your hearts, and ours! Why did the chicken cross the road? Why did the vampire cross the road? Why did the [frog|kiwi|#thedress|drop bear|flea] cross the road? Those questions are best left to philosophers, but in this episode we help these creatures and more cross roads, rivers, train tracks, and barren hellscapes in Crossy Road! Crossy Road is a Frogger-esque free to play mobile game by developer Hipster Whale.

Hi! And welcome to the Turtle Jump Show: the video game podcast of your hearts, and ours. To our great dismay, Nintendo recently announced that the new Zelda for Wii U, previously slated for this year, has been delayed. We will not be receiving the game in stores this year, nor will it be present at E3 2015. Join us as we rant and rave about our major disappointment and give our two-cents about how Nintendo could try to fill the Zelda-shaped hole in our hearts this year.
