Summary: If you believe games are a force of great potential good in this world, you will want to listen to this week's interview with HopeLab's Austin Harley, who creates games that help kids with serious diseases and ailments cope and recover from their illnesses. We talk about the forthcoming Re-Mission 2, what HopeLab has proven from its past research, and how you can check out Re-Mission 2 for yourself. Meanwhile, Kat and Hugh and I discuss mobster soundtracks, Gex, the next-gen Xbox reveal, Dippin' Dots, sloppy segues, poor pronunciation of names, not believing things until you hear it from someone outside your immediate family, a controversial trivia question, and why Dan is suddenly so...different.
