Episode 68 -- Get to Zero and End in Shame

May 05, 2015 18:21 - 1 hour - 104 MB

Today we head back in time, and without the help of a TARDIS. We drink some finely aged Scotch and discuss a finely aged band, and then we dart back to the beginning of the 20th Century and explore the great age of yellow journalism. But it all still seems so modern, so we head for the way way back machine and go play with a couple of ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean. It's just all so historical. Maybe more than we can fathom, but we go anyway, because it's what we do. Come along...

Episode 67 -- These are the Times You'll Remember When You're Sleeping Under the Bridge

April 14, 2015 18:16 - 1 hour - 106 MB

Oh man, did we pack this show. We threw everything at this one. I even think I saw a kitchen sink fly by. We give you a little something to drink, a little something to listen to, something to watch, a couple things to play, stuff that went bad, annoying stuff, some oil, water, vinegar: Everything you like or hate about us is in this one. Forgive us for we know not what we do. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN: 01:37 -- 3x3 Challenge Update (play along) 05:38 -- We Don't Just Go Along With the Crowd 07:...

Episode 66 -- It's Kinda Like The Jeffersons

April 08, 2015 06:52 - 1 hour - 76.3 MB

While we considered continuing the remote podcasting with a trip on Route 66, we decided to return to the studio instead and get back to some normalcy. A little Whisky, a little music, a lot of games, and a new challenge await you in this magical land. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Episode 65 -- A Mighty Wind (Our Gamestorm Finale)

April 01, 2015 04:50 - 1 hour - 68.3 MB

Our second and final installment from our live Gamestorm sessions. Recorded first on the day, but a very difficult edit deems it airs last. A number of creative people grace the microphones, and we are joined by Jason Hancock of The Docking Bay 94: The Game Reviewers podcast in this joint effort. Film, fiction and gaming all feature here, with a special discussion of the new game March of the Ants.  For those who're looking for our regular programming, we hope you enjoy this diversion. And ...

Episode 64 -- The Two Mikes, Live From Gamestorm

March 24, 2015 06:36 - 1 hour - 73.8 MB

Welcome to our first remote broadcast, recorded live at Gamestorm in Vancouver Washington, Saturday, the 21st of March. This is a loose affair featuring two very witty guests, Mike Selinker (Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, and many others) and Michael Mindes (Owner of Tasty Minstrel Games). After a false start, we get the buttons pushed correctly and the levels set as best we can, and we settle in to a lively conversation of many things board games and som...

Episode 63 -- Peaty Spells and Slapping Applesauce.

March 18, 2015 08:27 - 1 hour - 108 MB

We're smoking peat, greasing wheels, shooting sparks, and slapping applesauce in episode 63. We begin slowly and end with a beginning, all out-takes included. The whisky's a little smoky and the language a little salty, but we get our kicks in this one. All that and some serious examination of a couple of heavyweight games. Please enjoy responsibly. SPELLS: 02:00 -- Peat Monster! 10:30 -- Hand. Cannot. Erase. (Steven Wilson) 17:25 -- Bono Feld 19:05 -- Kanban (revisited in full) 51:15 -- O...
