What happens when you mix a regular SWAP Force Skylander with a SWAP Force Dark Skylander? How many Skylanders can you fit in the 3DS version? How do you politely say you need to visit the restroom? Why did you get a piglet? Production coordinator Lou Studdert returns to the show to answer all these questions, some of which were generated by you. Kat and Hugh and I spend the rest of the time talking about the Ghosts upgrade offer(s), GTAV, River Raid II, the lottery, video capture devices, Hugh’s sequel to City Under the Moon, and we even create a town in New Jersey.
