We start out with our weekly game challenge. The game, this episode, is not an video game. This episode's game is, the popular pinball machine, Medieval Madness. Ian takes us through some of the finer points of lining up shots on the game. We also have special guests Chuck and Toby from the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. We talk to them about the history of the show, what to expect from the show this year and what goes into making the show a success. Hint: The secret lies in the tablecloths.
