Dave Lang has a long and impressive career in the deep trenches of cool video games I played in the 90's and 2000's and was partly responsible for bringing two of my favorite twists on the fighting genre to the public: 2013's Divekick and 2022's own Rumbleverse (Season 1 out now!). I am very fortunate to be able to call Dave an internet acquaintance and we're all very lucky he agreed to be on this episode... also this amazing conversation about The Fast and The Furious between me and Dave that has got to be the closest I ever got to letting anyone shit on Tokyo Drift.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/51345782Thu, 22 Sep 2022 15:13:45 +0000HD1Support the show: patreon.com/americanjank Dave Lang has a long and impressive career in the deep trenches of cool video games I played in the 90's and 2000's and was partly responsible for bringing two of my favorite twists on the fighting genre...
