July 23, 2026 How Dimension 20 Got Us Into TTRPGs - Ep. 7
This week, we're rolling for initiative as we dive into the world of Dungeons & Dragons, tabletop RPGs, and the incredible communities that make them so memorable.
We share how we first got into D&D with little to no experience, a willingness to learn, influenced by popular D&D and Tabletop shows, and a love for storytelling. From unforgettable Natural 20 victories to the absolute chaos of Natural 1 failures, we talk about our moments that made us fall in love with tabletop role playing games.
----more----
We also talk about how shows like Dimension 20 and Critical Role have inspired us, introduced new players to the hobby, and helped make tabletop gaming more accessible than ever.
Whether you're preparing for your very first campaign, a seasoned adventurer, or simply curious about why so many people love D&D, this episode is a great place to start your own adventure.

July 09, 2026 The End of Physical Games? We Need to Talk - Ep. 6
[Timestamp Chapter]
This week, we're tackling one of the biggest conversations happening in gaming right now.
Sony's recent announcement signaling a move toward a digital first future has garnered a huge reaction across the gaming community, and as gamers ourselves, we are sharing our honest reactions. We discuss what this could mean for physical game preservation, collecting, ownership, and whether an all digital future is something gamers will embrace, or push back against.
----more----
Also with the release of Grand Theft Auto VI coming out in November we discuss how GTA VI could shape the future of gaming with the announcement of its massive price sale and its digital only release.
Lastly, we take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the games that defined our childhoods and why preserving physical media and gaming history still matters...or at least try to keep this in topic.
This is definitely one of our most passionate and heated discussions yet.
Whether you're a physical collector, a digital-only gamer, agree or disagree with the Sony and GTA VI announcements, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you're into comics, anime, manga, video games, trading card games, tabletop RPGs, or pop culture, there's something here for every fan.
Are you for or against gaming's move toward an all-digital future?
What's one nostalgic game you'll never forget?
Will you be picking up GTA VI digitally on day one?
