Funkatronic Rex - Games & More

Episode 5! Dinosaurs, Boy Bands, & Power Tools!

We are honored to be joined by the always amazing, Brett Harrison of Brexwerx Games! Known for co-designing the popular paleontology based board game, Holotype, Brett brings his expertise and helps us level up our knowledge of Dinosaurs and board games. 

- Anniversary Party with Funkatronic Family: We asked our friends at the shop one simple question; “What is Funkatronic Rex to you?” 

- Hobby Highlights: Brett teases a new game from Brexwerx, Court shares a couple fun stories from customer interactions, and Mike plays with power tools. The answer to the age old question, what do you call the master of Dungeon Masters?

- Pro-Painted Under the Microscope: We had a lot of good discussions and feedback from you guys about Pro-Painted. Mike takes the lead in coming forward with our intentions on our Pro-Painted segment. 

- What’s in the Case?: Braaaaaaaaains! Michael shares his finalization of the ‘Night of the Living Dead’ case deck. 

- On a Nat 20: Boy bands. Yep. You read that right. Alex begins his career as a pop icon because of Court’s lucky D20 roll.

- MAIN TOPIC: OUTSIDE THE BOX - BETTER GAMING EXPERIENCES
How do you enhance your gaming experience? Do you have a specific playlist for certain games? Do you use any house rules? Do you dress up as your character? Read the flavor text? The Funk dudes chat about some fun things they do to make playing a game even better than just what’s in the box.

- Q&A: Brett sheds light on his favorite Funkatronic Rex memories. The guys chat about their favorite dinosaur!

Episode 4! All 4 One, One 4 All!

All 4 Funkatronic Rex employees gather for this special episode! A rare occasion indeed. It's the whole Funkatronic Crew including ALEX! 

- Hobby Highlights: With Age of Sigmar 4th edition Michael abstains from games while Court does the opposite and enjoys the final days of AoS 3rd edition, Mike “cheats the hobby” to get great looking mechs.

- What's in the Case?: Kodama & Tevesh make a great couple and double your value! 

- On a Nat 20: What was once a time-killer has now grown into a favorite in-store pastime. The crew chats about the fun and embarrassing “On a nat 20…” scenarios they are locked into.

- Store Lore: - Quinn. The man, the myth, the legend. We pay tribute to an awesome ex-employee and pioneer of the Funk. Though it seems we reminisce fondly and with sadness, he’s still very much alive. We just miss him.

- MAIN TOPIC: GUESS WHO: WARHAMMER EDITION - Court comes up with a fun game for the dudes to try. Each employee provides multiple movie lines to describe/represent a Warhammer army. The other guys need to guess correctly which faction/army it matches. Stakes are declared, the game gets interesting, and Michael schools us in some lore.

- Q&A: What game deserves a bigger player base? Magic the Gathering + DUNE = Rad?
