#8: Alien Artifacts and Kickstarter

Mark and Walker engage in rampant hearsay, or at least that's what someone told me. They perform a dissection of Alien Artifacts, only to discover that it was a shoddy rubber suit all along. They then discuss their thoughts on Kickstarter's influence on the hobby--is it making games cute but stupid?
Also, a friendly reminder that Star Control II is the greatest video game ever made.
