Send us Fan MailA Spartan Takes on a Pirate!This week’s mini episode features co-host ShadoSpartan’s take on the rise and fall of one of his former favorite online personalities, PirateSoftware. So why devote an entire mini episode to the “Roach”?Roaches can survive anything. They adapt, they outlast, they get their dad at Blizzard to land them a job, lay off their moderators, side with billion-dollar corporations at every turn, never hold themselves accountable when they’re obviously wrong, and ban ShadoSpartan from chat just for saying hello. Mini episode theme by ShadoSpartan, whose album is available at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ZCnmT7zKYdVQ8lPuO3oVE?si=MMXMPLWeTJaXF6j9QRy2IwShadoSpartan's YouTube Game Retrospectives can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@ShadoSpartan44Follow Time Pals wherever you get your podcasts.#PirateSoftware #GameDev #WoW #StopKillingGames #MaydayMediaNetwork #ShadoSpartan #Roach #Kronos #TimePalsPodcastLegendary SupplementsWelcome to Legendary Supplements, where gaming greatness meets unparalleled performance.
