Episode 9 - Break My TV and Eat My Gamepad

January 17, 2017 by Hot KoCode

That's right. We're back.

Ben, Caleb, Joey and waka reunite to kick off and share the excitement for 2017. On this week's episode:

We take a look back to the start of Hot KoCode 3 years ago;
Take a deep breath and share an in-depth analysis of the Nintendo Switch event;
Rekindle our collective excitement for what's to come in 2017, and
...remind you all that with our grand return comes our mailbag as well!

NOTE: Due to some technical difficulties (read: incredible stupidity on waka's part), waka's microphone sounds absolutely terrible. Joey's editing has saved this episode as well as made sure that your ears won't bleed, and the worst part is the beginning; but keep it mind that it won't sound the best here and there. We're working hard on improving the way Hot KoCode sounds and making sure it's a stellar audio experience—and we're hoping this week will be the one exception to the rule.

Feel free to e-mail us at mailbag@hotkocode.com or tweet at us @HotKoCode. Happy 2017!
