Dan Chris and Marty set out on a course on this back to the future day, a course to record a simple 15 min power hour with our good buddy Matt Riddle, but since it’s been a few months since we saw the big lug we just kept talking for a full two hours!
You won’t be disappointed though as we talk about Star Wars Ep VII, Legacy games, Fantasy Sports and some fall TV.
As well as some chat about Isle of Sky, Blood Rage and a whole host of other stuff.
Just another great show!

I’ll spoil it a little these two games are insta-backs!
