Introduction:

Welcome

Greetings fellow nerds, it is April 27, 2012, and welcome to episode #7 of the Instagib podcast, the one stop shop for multiplayer gaming goodness.  My name is Jason Thomas and I'm joined, as always, by the perpetual player 2, Aidan. “I’m plugged in and ready to play! (Aidan)” “That’s what I like to hear. (Jason)” Not only are we here, but we’ve brought a menagerie of guests to enhance your audio experience! In no particular order, we have: Troy, Etienne, and Jarret.

Welcome to Instagib, everyone.

This week is a very special episode full of creepers, endermen, and portals to the nether.
