As seen on Weekend Destructainment: An A Cappella group performs the Pokemon theme. It’s surprisingly good, and for whatever reason, makes me want to fight someone.
Jim interviews Owlboy, Factor 5 has possibly closed its doors, we got a bunch more Christmas cards, the new hovering car coming to Burnout was revealed, and plenty more happened over the weekend.
