Welcome to Turtle Jump, the video game podcast of your heart and ours! We talk games, industry news, and in depth discussions of hot topics in gaming. In this episode, we talk about Playdead's indie hit Limbo. In this title, players must guide a young boy through a creepy forest, a decayed urban environment, and a dangerous factory on a quest to find his lost sister. With a macabre asthetic, challenging puzzles, and solid platforming, Limbo is a little game of great value.

Welcome to Turtle Jump, the video game podcast of your heart and ours! We talk games, industry news, and in depth discussions of hot topics in gaming. In this episode, we discuss some big Nintendo news: the New 3DS announcement, Mario Kart 8's awesome DLC, and Super Smash Bros.'s leaked (and possibly confirmed) roster. Is it too early for a new Nintendo handheld? And what's up with that name, anyway? Link and Animal Crossing Villager in Mario Kart? Sixteen new courses? Duck Hunt Dog in Smash? Lots of things. Many opinions. Such news. Wow.

Paul and Allen are notorious scaredy cats. We don't love horror, but perhaps we appreciate it? Find out here!

Welcome to Turtle Jump, the video game podcast of your heart and ours! We talk games, industry news, and in depth discussions of hot topics in gaming. In this episode, the Turtle Jumpers take a break from video games and explain why they like--nay, LOVE--Dungeons & Dragons. D&D is the father of role-playing games. Using only pens, paper, dice, and imagination, you can embark on the most fantastic of quests. It's a story that YOU build, with combat, diplomacy, adventuring, and skillful challenges. Wizards of the Coast recently began unleashing the 5th edition of D&D on the world, and so now is the perfect time to jump in.
