v26 - Luigi's Mansion

Breaking Change

I'd write more here, but I've got places to be. Becky, Jeremy, and I are going to engage in some holiday festivities. We have a couple gingerbread houses to make and a tree to trim. And no nog to speak of. Really, that's all you get by way of show notes this time as a result, deal with it.

Send your complaints to podcast@searls.co and they will be read on air.
