Hey Everyone!  The Midwest Game Nerds Podcast is now available on Stitcher Radio!  Stitcher is my favorite app for streaming podcasts on my Android phone, but it’s available on the iPhone App Store as well.

This episode we talk about what we’re playing (not Destiny!).  There is a little bit of conversation about Nintendo.  We also go over our first impressions of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto Online: Heists, and we give our review of EA’s Battlefield Hardline.  At the end of the episode we get to respond to our first listener feedback email!  If you like what you hear (or even if you don’t) please feel free to share your feedback with us via email at midwestgamenerds@gmail.com, or via Twitter @mgnpodcast.
