The gang’s all here. It’s time to ring in the year two thousand and fifteen, and what better way to do that than with our longest episode title to date! Serioulsy… It could be the name of a light novel. Well, I guess we would need to make it “The OSMcast Roundtable of Our Youth and Current Age That One Winter Evening About PlayStation 3, 4, PSP and Vita.” Ok, now it’s a light novel book title. But it is an oral history. Or something. In audio, in any case. Audio all about PlayStation Three and above. The games, the systems, more about the games, questions about things. I’m pretty sure that you now know what you are getting into. If not, well, good luck! OSMnotes Hey we all know what you were scrolling down to see! Those Time Cues , am I right?
