Motion - is it more than just waggling a controller around? In this episode we seek to explore all aspects of this much-maligned game mechanic (and also discuss our struggles with motion sickness).

In this episode - Giovanni mourns the death of motion based party games. David has to have a little lie down. Tess discusses why your body does not want to be an interface. Greg tries to learn a new joke.
