Jason Maddison (Technical Director at Lost in Cult) joined us to talk about the [lock-on] journal, his piece for volume 001 (titled I Have Lived) and how it rang true to our childhoods, and about how the technobabble used in discussing video games and consoles is utter nonsense. All this with a lot of pro-wrestling terms thrown in for good measure
