This is the third of a whopping five special episodes that encompass our live coverage of the 2015 Louisville Arcade Expo! This show’s format is what I’d like to think of as “unplugged” as we camped out in a hotel room with the mics and portable recorders and 12+ people joined in on the fun where some beers were consumed, gaming was the topic and the Expo was the backdrop. It was a great time and is something we’d definitely like to do more of. The post Episode 27 – It’s Happy Hour (and then som...

April 1st is a day of jokes, gags and fun so Brent and I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to poke some fun at ourselves and compile a collection of outtakes from previous episodes, as well as some bloopers from some of our past live shows! It takes a lot of mistakes to make up a show episode (trust us, we generate tons of them every month) but we picked some of the best for everyone to enjoy and thought it neat to put out a mini-show between regular episodes. We trust you’ll get a few...

*whew*... we just barely made it in under the "short month" deadline for this episode.. weather here in KY has been nothing short of "tough" the past several weeks and getting together to record has been a bit of a challenge due to that. BUT - we found a decent day break in the -10 temperatures and took advantage of it and had a blast putting together this month's show.

We're ringing in 2015 with a bit of flair by way of some updates to the podcast, and we trust that everyone is as excited as we are for some of the changes we're making for the New Year!

I've (Whitney) been hammering on the ZooKeeper resto project and cabbaging as many tube swa...

Merry Christmas everyone! This episode sees us amazing even ourselves on the sheer amount of content we can pack into a single month’s episode.
