But thanks to Funky Mode, all was forgiven

We may have already recapped ourPAX East coverage for this year, but I plan to keep dribbling out time-insensitive posts for at least another week. Case in point, some small talk with Matt McMuscles from theTwo Best Friends Play series. He’s been helping out with development and marketing forThe Takeover, a new beat-’em-up that pays tributes to the classics without being a slave to their particulars.

The game is on Steam Early Access right now, and will becoming to Switch soon enough. We chatted with Matt about the co-op surprise in the demo he brought to the show, the boss fight withThe Baz,and even the Xbox One. That last topic didn’t last very long though.

Thanks again for taking the time Matt. Few can pack banter into a video game YouTube like you can.
