Video Game Logic Podcast

This week we needed to do another re-upload. Work schedules and tech issues prevented us from getting together with enough solid time to record an episode. We hope you enjoy this episode, chosen because May is Mental Health Awareness month, which is an update and re-upload of the gameclub episode covering A Normal Lost Phone, and Another Lost Phone. 

This is a small snippet of franken episode from the last recording. We were unable to record this week due to a tornado tearing through Jared's location. He's fine, but the infrastructure was down for a few days of recovery. So we were unable to record or do a larger franken piece this week. We hope you enjoy none the less!

There once was a time when we questioned podcasts taking long hiatus periods or doing old re-releases on this show. How nieve we were! Life once again stands in the way. Rage's new job and work schedule combined with my own major career changes again makes it hard to record. We believe next week's schedule hold solid promise for recording, and we can finally get past Tex Murphy onto the next gamec...

This week, Rage is busy with work, and Jared is busy at a marriage and family therapy conference getting to learn and talk all about sex! Due to those pesky adult scheduling conflicts, we were not able to get together again. A few weeks ago a re-release and old episode where the RSS feed from how we used to upload the show has broken. So we have another blast from the past. We have put together ou...

Greetings all! We have a short little franken episode this week, as continued work and personal issues prevented us from recording. We have talked shop and adjusted/updated the gameclub list and have made plans for late but truncated VGL awards to discuss some gameclub games. We hope you all are having a good week, and hope to be back soon. 

This week, continued work tumolt for Rage ensured no recording was possible. So, we bring you a story about fixing houses, and some other stuff. We wish you all well this week, and hope to see you again very soon!

This week, Rage is busy with work, and Jared is busy repairing his roof after a massive storm blew part of it off. Looking at old Archives, there are a lot of old episodes that have never been viewed, as PodBean seems to have broken their RSS import Support. So an episode appears with no Audio. I've taken the time to find as many of these as I can, and will re-release them on weeks where we don't...

Jared is very sick this week, a lot of people in his orbit have had both the Flu and Covid. Hopefully it isn't that, but we aren't sure yet. Enjoy! We hope to see you next week. 

This week responsibility got in the way again, but we have new Franken Content since we were able to record a few weeks in a row. Enjoy the show, and we should be back next wee to talk Tex Murphy!

Greetings friend. Jared had a fight with his two greatest Nemeses at the same time: His ISP and his dishwasher. Service outages and FTD errors prevented him from being able to record this week. So we've gone back into the archives, and pulled out another old Franken Episode. Hope you all have a lovely week!

On this episode of the VGL Podcast, we discuss why we've been gone so long, the state of the US in this moment, and some random video game things. There wasn't a format this time, but the goal as stated in the episode, is to do December/January Gameclub in our next recording, and the VGL Awards the one after that. We hope you enjoy!

Greetings friends! We needed to do so business to sort out the schedule for VGL Awards and making adjustments to the Gameclub Schedule. We hope you all have had a lovely day, and will be seeing you soon!

Good day to you my friends! Hopefully if you're in the path of this Winter Storm you've taken appropriate steps. Rage and I were unable to connect this week to record. I got back from Colorado too late Tuesday, and Rage has had his own work developments that meant he didn't have a night off. We hope to see you soon, and hope you enjoy this Episode from the Archive! 

Happy New Year to our listeners this week! I went back into the archives to grab and older Franken Episode that I can't find a correlating file too on Podbean. Jared is in Colorado this week with his in-laws, so we didn't record anything. Next week should be a return to form, with either a normal episode or the Gameclub episode for December. After that the VGL Awards! We hope you all have a lovely...

Merry Christmas everyone! We did not record this week due to the Holiday falling on a Wednesday and it making our other schedules really weird. We hope you had a lovely Christmas. Next week will be Franken Episode as well, as I (Jared) will be in Colorado Visiting my in laws the whole week.
