If being gadget and “tech” people describes who we are on this show (and let’s face it, it does)… then at the core of that identity is a common thread that runs all the way back to the beginning, even to childhood, for each of us. 

It led us to build our first PC, edit those first lines of code, and break FAR more things than we ever fixed on the road to somehow turning this passion for ones-and-zeroes into a life-long career. 

Yep, that common thread is gaming… it influences the gear we buy, the way we will many hours of downtime, and too much of the stuff littering my shelves, walls, and library. 

You’ll notice a dip in audio quality compared to other recent episodes, and that’s because we frankly recorded this months ago but decided the time needed to be right to release stores like these so near and dear to our hearts. So with the Holiday game release season in full-swing, what better time to step back and think fondly on our early titles, quests, and energy-drink-fueled weekends that led as all the way to where we are today… 

Game on, Solid State.
