Tonight, despite crazy thunder storms we recorded our Gen Con 2013 recap show.

We go day by day and give insight into what we did , what we played (and how we liked) many games from Gen Con.

It’s a good look into the craziness that is 4 of the best days in gaming every year.

Watch out for the LOUD clap of thunder which scared the bejesus out of us at about the 1 hour mark.

We also announce the winner of our Cool Stuff Inc contest. Thanks for listening!

Tonight we went a bit informal of a list type chat. We try and get a list of top 11 games we want to try/demo and top 11 games we want to buy (b/c you know everything goes better to 11!).

There are some overlap here and there and we do our own way of dealing with that (I’m not always a huge fan of it shows up later so I’m not gonna comment so we do it our own way…. we just TALK)which I hope you guys all enjoy.

We are joined by Darrell Louder (who had to leave early) who gave us some of his demo’s and try before he buys. And also TC Petty III (who had to show up late) who gives us his own unique take on what he wants to play.

We had a fun time doing these and truly want to play a ton of games and want to get tons of games bought and into our collections! I hope our stress free round table is as enjoyable to listen to as it was to record. But of course I hope this helps your trip go faster then it really is!

Thanks for listening, and hope to see you at Gen Con!

Sorry this didn’t get up last week when the show went up, I went out of town right after I got the episode uploaded so I completely dropped the ball on updating this site. Sorry all. Please enjoy the show!

We have a GREAT show lined up today!

We had the amazing pleasure of interviewing two of the true greats in the industry today in Dan Yarrington of Game Salute and Myriad Games fame, and Stephen Buonocore of Stronghold games.

We talk to Dan about his history of gaming and becoming a store owner as well as his transition into fulfillment and what they are doing of late to help the newer and smaller game publishers out there.

Check out all the events/talks Dan will be doing as well as all the games they will have for sale and/or Demo at Gen con
here-> www.GameSalute.com/GenCon

If you would like to volunteer to help them out there are still a couple of those needed. So click on the volunteer link on their site to sign up today! It’s a great time and there are some perks/rewards with this as well.

As for Mr. Buonocore, not only do we hear about his gaming roots but we hear what is in store from Stronghold Games at Gen Con and get a scoop or two from him about some previously unmentioned future projects.

And we also announce our part in Dice Tower Network’s Cool Stuff Inc gift certificate giveaway contest! Thanks for listening! (you can also find out the details of this contest on the thread on our guild!)

I know it’s kinda soon since we last put up an episode but I will be out of town for work for the whole next week and I really wanted to get our chat with these guys up well before the Con so people can see what they have coming up.

Thanks as always for listening and see everyone at Gen Con
