Q*Bert! He was adorable, wasn’t he? Sure he was. But man, he was a little guy with issues. Can’t really blame him though, what with Coily and Sam trying to push him off that pyramid. All the guy wanted to do was change the color of those cubes. In this episode, we decide whether this plot makes any sense and, along the way, psycho-analyze a fictional character from a thirty-year-old video game. Anyone who tells you the Internet is a waste of time…should listen to this podcast.
