Bitfaced

Borderlands 3 was Rebecca's most anticipated title of 2019, and on this episode we not only discuss Gearbox's signature series at length but we also take a few laps around the living room with Ring Fit Adventure on the Switch.  Pokemon Sword and Shield were also released this month, and everyone except Eric gives their opinion on the most recent installment in the highest grossing media empire of all time.  Take care of yourself this holiday season Bitfacers, we are certainly thankful for all of you.     

One of our favorite guests and friend Michael T. Scott is producing a new animated short titled Curves based on the life of legendary pitcher Jackie Mitchell, and he brought baseball expert and professional card grader Andy Broome along to tell us all about this exciting project.  Even if you're not familiar with Jackie or her story, you'll be delighted by the tale that Michael and Andy are presenting.  Check out the episode and then round the bases to their Kickstarter and support this unique and impressive venture.       
   

George Lowe warned us before his panel that "moderating me will be absolute hell", but we were completely up for the challenge.  Luckily for us that challenge consisted of laughing our asses off for forty-five minutes straight.  If you've never had the opportunity to see the godfather of Adult Swim at a con you'll truly appreciate the unbelievable levels of hilarity and joyousness he brings into a room.  Come for the free Pokemon at booth four, stay for the Adam West stories, we promise that you won't be disappointed in the slightest.           

Our coverage of Colorado Springs Comic Con 2019 kicks off with two very prolific and impassioned guests, Power Ranger Anthony and Mike the Quad.  You've heard Mike on Bitfaced recently, and you know Anthony from his YouTube channel as well as hosting many of his own panels and events at conventions.  We talk everything from adaptability in gaming to making a positive impact in the community, and we also manage to squeeze a little fun in between.  If you're reading this or listening to the episode please consider helping out Magic Wheelchair and Warfighter Engaged however you can.  Whether it's time, money, or exposure, everyone has something that they can contribute to both of these wonderful organizations.

Our coverage of Denver Pop Culture Con 2019 arrives like a well timed pumpkin bomb with the Into the Spiderverse panel, featuring Marvel artists Laura Martin, Mark Morales, and Khary Randolph.  We explore the universe of everyone's favorite webslinger and discuss the longevity of the character and why Spidey is making his biggest impact with the youth of today.  A huge thanks to Thinking Outside the Longbox for setting us up with not only the hosting opportunity, but also for engineering this audio for us.  

We're going to attempt to answer our title question this week by talking a little about what has been happening the last few months during our unfortunate hiatus from the studio and briefly hint at some of the exciting changes going forward.  Consider this episode an acceptable placeholder while we prepare to flood your ears with the Bitfaced glory that all of you reading this truly deserve.
