One Of Swords

Skylanders: Cloud Patrol is officially a hit on iOS — and Ben Throop from developer Vicarious Visions tells me how the team put it together and — most importantly — how to rock the score leaderboards. Hugh and Kat and I then chat about the new James Bond game, Hugh’s new movie, celebrity WoW groups, MW3 DLC on PS3, Dan’s signature song, V, arcade machines, Marvel movies, light-up keyboards that will not work with your console regardless of what was said on the show (see links below), and, uh, stiffness.
