Contracast Episode 28: God of Contracast

Contracast 28! This week we talk Battlefield Heroes, God of War III, and Clash of the Titans. This of course also means we go on around 15 tangents. Big news though; this episode was the first live-streamed episode! We had around 8 people drop by while recording, not too bad for an almost un-publicized live show. We expect to do each subsequent show live, and will publicize when we will record well in advance.
