Our conversation covers so many topics, from Tingle to Pinball Wizard, including a mention of his completely secret upcoming game, of which nothing is revealed. Did we mention that he created Constructoid? (Episode 1 is posted below the podcast.) And that you can see him hosting the new Game Over Boston event Player 1/Player 2 at Laugh Boston on September 27th. This is a busy man!

After Jonathan flees our studio, we talk a few news items!

• Pokemon GO introduces the buddy system, update your game!
• In theory the Pokemon GO Plus came out on Friday, but we didn't get ours yet :(
• Miz Sylver is working at Super League this fall! She's working at the Showcase Cinema de Lux Revere location for the one day events on Tuesday Sept 27th and Saturday Oct 1st.

This medal will only be available to those attending the screenings.
