Listen to how we survived those days and how much things have changed in just a couple of decades.

June 23, 2018 Special Edition: Billy Mitchell Interview
All of us at GXG have a love for those classic arcade games we grew up playing in our corner arcades, so it should come as no surprise that we've been closely following the controversy surrounding Billy Mitchell. Mitchell, the first man to ever get a perfect score on Pac-Man, was in the news more than usual recently due to accusations of rules violations in achieving his recorded Donkey Kong high score.

June 14, 2018 Schoolhouse Rock
"I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill..."

"Conjunction Junction, what's your function?"

"Three, is a magic number..."

If you are a GenX'er then all three of these lyrics should've started the music running through your head and brought back memories of Saturday morning cartoons. In this episode we look back on Schoolhouse Rock and how we all learned the preamble and many other things because of it!
