This week it's my fault we didn't record. It's spring time in the south, and I had a sinus infection. I took some time off and got some meds, so fingers crossed to wellness and recordings next week. We have many topics we'd like to discuss!

This week Rage had a weird work schedule so we were unable to record this week. I pulled franken content from the newest and oldest episode on the backlog, so we have some things from last week, and things from January. Hope you enjoy, and we'll see you next week!

This week, Rage and I Both had reasons that prevented us from meeting to record. Power outages, massive scary storms with tornado watches, and lingering internet issues (for me at least) mean that we dip once again into the always persistent archive of silliness. We hope you enjoy!

This week Jared's in laws got in the way of doing a recording. We had the best of intentions, but when things pop off he has to talk everyone down. Or at least try right? Enjoy!

Due to being tired old men with jobs, we took a break this week to bring to you a Franken Episode where we talk about surge pricing at Wendy's and tell a couple of stories. Enjoy! 

This week we talk about A Bird Story, and share our views on this now 10 year old game.

A relatively short episode this week, we talk about Steamworld Build for the January Gameclub, go on a tangent or two, and mention the February Gameclub. We hope you enjoy the show!   PS. Jared didn't get slammed at work this week and forget to post the episode.   Topics list: Gameclub: Steam World Build Next Gameclub Game: A Bird Story

After a very long halftime show, and some real-life issues that got in the way of recording, we're back to finish off our awards show. What is the best and worst of the year? Let's find out!

This week we go into the backlog again. Scheduling difficulties meant we were unable to record part 2 of the VGL Awards this past week. We'll get there! We promise! In other news can you guys believe how much Franken content we have in the can? We talk a lot. A whole lot. Enjoy!

Good day listeners! It may be a little late, and a little short (because we broke it up into two parts), but we are proud to present the VGL Awards for 2023! Next week we'll have part 2 out. As you'll hear in the show, Rage was recovering from illness so he sounds a little less sultry than usual. We hope you enjoy the show, and we look forward to releasing the fun stuff that's at the bottom of the...

Greetings listeners! We intended to record the VGL awards this week, but my power was out for almost 2 days and we were unable to do so. We'll be back next week to do that thing, and more !

Topics list: For Show Date: 01/02/2024  We have a pretty simple one this week! Just a gameclub discussion, some post holiday talk, and a few digressions. We will see you all next week for the VGL Awards for 2023! December Gameclub: Wartales      2. Next Gameclub: Steam World Build
