Episode 97– March Madness Filler Tournament

In this super sized episode, we have our Yearly March Madness Tourney.

This year we try and find the BEST filler game there is.

Who will win? Who will be upset? You will have to listen to find out.

This years panel includes Dan, Chris, Matt, Ruth and Adam S. With some write in tie breakers to help us out as well.

Ok so we recorded for a LONG LONG time. I, as always, just kinda figured this would be a nice let’s get together and record a quick 3 hour podcast and then play a game or two. As always this didn’t happen. Pizza, beer, brownies and cupcakes (Thanks to my beautiful bride Janice for those) and much much much talking/debating about games, next think you know it’s after midnight.

So year editing this one was a beast and I will apologize for this being nearly four hours but hey that’s all top notch free content for you! Enjoy it in bite size chunks and you won’t be disappointed at all.

Next year however, we won’t be explaining the games we put in the field of whatever themed tourney we do. It would be nice but it’s what takes the bulk of our time up. I would rather put the time into debating and not needing to edit it down at all.

As always, Thanks for listening!

Episode 91–Q and A Mailbag and The Flash mid season report

On tonight’s special pre-Christmas episode we decided we would open ye olde mailbag and answer some questions from the guild and the listeners.

It’s been waaaayyy too long since we have done this so we thought it would be quite a fun time. Dan, Chris, TC and Darrell touch on a bunch of great questions.

Also we hit on a ton of Flash and Arrow chat and what we thought of the mid season finales and what we think is ahead!

We will try and record on or around the 1st of the year but we will just have to see what our schedules look like!

Thanks for listening! And of course Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
