NOTE: We spoiled the ending to The Walking Dead: Season 1 by TellTale in this episode and angered a few listeners in the process. We thought the ending was common knowledge by now and we were mistaken. The Gaming Outsider apologizes for anyone who had the game spoiled for them and the bit has since been removed to avoid the game being spoiled for anyone else. If you have downloaded the episode and have not listened to it yet, please delete and re-download so you will have a spoiler-free episode. Thanks!
