Episode Notes

Joining us this week is Geekade.com founder and host of “Stone Age Gamer Podcast” along with a number of other pods: Kris Randazzo. The focus? Video games and their impact on our development from children to adults—yes, gaming gets deep! We cover favorite games, different motivations for playing at all, which genres appeal to which kinds of people, the reality of addictive Chocobo farming and lots more. SO MUCH MORE, in fact, that we needed to split this discussion into TWO separate episodes!

BUT FIRST!

A TEASE about Phil’s new segment name & our first contest winner, we get to the bottom of Phil’s mysterious brown night-off beverage, rumblings about Shaun’s distaste for propagating the Santa myth leads to some discussion of our own (SPOILER ALERT!) realizations that there is no such thing as a fat elf running an off-the-books factory in the wastes of the north pole, AND some reader feedback takes center stage!

We’ve blown into the cartridge and all is ready: it’s time to Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A START….The Whiparound!
