The Mana Logs

This time on The Mana Logs, VH1’s Where Are They Now Edition. It's been a while since we grabbed a couple of drinks, fired up the mics, and talked about games, beer, and whatever else comes to mind.

So tonight we’re keeping it simple, no deep dive, no official pairing, and no grand mission objecti...

Welcome back to the mana logs. Tonight is episode 85 and we’re diving head first into the monster filled, morally complicated world of The Witcher 3: Wild hunt.

To balance out the high-stakes chaos, we're pouring St. Bernardus Christmas Ale straight out of Belgiu...

Fueling tonight's journey, we're sipping on...

This time on The Mana Logs, we have one of the most recommended games of our tenure here on the podcast with Ghost of Tsushima and what better way to warm up the insides on this windy cold November day than a glass of a rum barrel-aged pecan pie from Boulevard.
