Free Play 70 | Spoopiest Moments in Games (Community Edition)

SHOW NOTES

Just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean that we can’t keep the spoops rollin’!  We polled our Facebook Community and asked them about a few of the more memorable times when they got a little more than scared playing games.  And that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.
