What we Learned from You Discussion:
Jonathan sends in an email to the show asking what we would put into video games to help a player learn mechanics, which results in Chase and Stu going down some very weird rabbit holes.
Jeff writes in and asks what we think of Nintendo's LABO project. Chase and Stu respond with optimism and concerns about kids and cardboard.
