Nicole, Linda, and Stephen bid a fond farewell to the fabulous Simone de Rochefort. Nintendo expert Courtney Holmes joins us on the podcast. We talk about the news and tackle the question of whether toys-to-life games like Skylanders and Disney Infinity are a “bubble.” Then, as always, we talk about what we’re playing.
