The Weekend Hotness: Dale North’s currywurst coma

A whole bunch of news came out of gamescom this year, but my takeaway has to be Dale North’s edible escapades. F*ck the games, gimme the food!

Elsewhere this weekend, we review Sound Shapes then harass the devs on Sup Holmes?, Neo Aquarium: King of Crustaceans also gets special review treatment, Storm Dain returns for some Driver: San Francisco, and prop maker Volpin Props takes us through the development of the latest Mr. Destructoid helmet.
