  • Episode 19: Final Fantasy 15
    On this episode, Drew lands the opening but Bailey really messes up the ending.  We drink some delicious Scottish Ales delivered from Drew's brother in Wisconsin then get into a relatively in-depth (but slightly spoiler free!) discussion of Final Fantasy XV.  We bitch about game combat but bascially rave over everything else in the game....especially Gladioulus, Cindy and equally sexy looking food.  Also featured: Boo the Cat, an argument over losing a card game, and a lot of great listener questions.

    In this episode, we drink fancy Terrapin beers, reminisce on a rather interesting day at Gamestop, and talk a lot about some aweome games we've been playing.  Those games include but are not limited to Battlefield 1 and World of Final Fantasy. Bailey makes a startling announement and has some cosplay inspiration. Drew drowns A LOT of people and serves up a little Maine Justice. Listen all the way to end, folks, this episode is a doozey.

  • Episode 15: Dragon Con 2016
    We are finally making our triumphant return after several months away! A combination of conflicting schedules, a month-long "cleanse," and flat out laziness kept us from recording but we are back and better than ever. During what is our longest episode to date, we discuss our recent trip to Dragon Con in Atlanta.  We will cover our favorite costumes, favorite vendors/comic artists/panels, things we loved about Con, things we regret not doing and give some tips for people new to Con.  Then we answer a small backlog of listener questions. It really is a very long episode. We're BACK!!

  • Episode 11: Bailey v. The Wind Waker
    We are back from an unexpectedly long hiatus! This week, we talk about all things Zelda. More specifically, Bailey's recent attempt at playing and completing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.  Drew loves the Zelda franchise, while Bailey does not. We discuss what we like and don't like about Zelda games, our favorite songs from the soundtracks, and answer listener questions about our gameplay experience. Also featured: sexy hockey players, Drew's secret love of Fallout Boy, a discussion of our favorite incarnation of Batman, and dick slap videos. But more importantly, dick slap videos. It's good to be back.
