Kat’s away this week on business, so Hugh and I get to spend some quality time together, and he tells me a story from the It Sucks To Be Hugh archive. Our discussion includes Xbox One’s release date, how the consoles stack up and what we think matters when it comes to all that stuff, the Marvel Universe, how release dates are determined, whales, Jasper vs. Falcon, Scarlett Johansson, Satanic rituals, website exclusives, how to turn yourself blue, Photoshop wars, and the Proletariat.
