Gifting Bliss, on the Drabblecast →
Gifting Bliss is the latest episode from the Drabblecast, Norm Sherman’s story podcast.

I don’t know what the best thing about this game is: that it’s Jezzball for the iPhone? that your character’s name is Dr. Awesome? that you perform surgery on your friends (from your contacts)? the ridiculously dramatic character poses? Dr. Awesome’s mustache? There’s too much to love! via Offworld
