We want to thank those that were listening but the numbers were too few for the time that was spent to make and produce this show. We do really appreciate those that listened but in the wise words of N'Sync, BYE BYE BYE.

Blake and Dan are back with them discussing their progress updates on Slay the Spire and Blake has continued to progress through Pokemon. Then Dan discusses Halo Breath of The Wild.....er the Halo Infinite campaign. Then the two hosts come together to discuss gaming in Virtual Reality as Blake just received a Occulus Quest 2 of which Dan has as well and they touch on a few games they have been playing and then also one that they have been cooping frequently together, After the Fall. After the Fall is a Left 4 Dead/Back 4 Blood clone but in VR. You can play with a party of 4 and Dan and Blake have been jamming together with 2 AI teammates and rocking through the game. 

Thank you for listening and if you want to continue to hear us talk through our gaming adventures please tell some friends. We put a good amount of time and effort into this podcast and we had pretty low expectations for the size of our audience but at this time our audience is about 15 people and we are super thankful for you few, but if we are not able to increase our listenership over the next few podcasts we may be sunsetting this show. Again thank you for listening and please tell a friend about us if you are enjoying it.

On this episode we cover gaming while on vacation/your parent's house as Dan traveled back to his origins. Then we discuss Blake's ongoing quest to catch them all with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond. We then return to Dan's travels and holiday activities by discussing the card games 10 point pitch and hearts, both favorites of his families. Blake then discusses playing Kirby Allies which he checked out from the library........yes the library apparently now allows checking out of Switch games in the great white north. That brings us to the main topic of the day and that is Slay the Spire where Blake just started playing and his introduction to the game rekindled Dan's drive for the game. And lastly in the games that made us Dan discusses his 20 year relationship with Halo and early first impressions of Halo Infinite which the multiplayer has released and the campaign will release this week. 

Thanks for listening and share any of your disgusting Slay the Spire builds with us on twitter at @QPGWOH.

In this episode our hosts recount their gaming in Vegas, some of it profitable, others not so much. Along with that Blake updates us on his Pokemon progress, finally loops back to finish Super Mario Odyssey, and then breaks out Mansions of Madness to finish up on some table gaming. Dan recounts his Chess and Rocket League progress as well as covering Story Time Chess which he has picked up to teach his daughter to play and discusses Deathloop as he has about 30 hours in that game now and is nearing the end. Finally the hosts discuss in the games that made us Blake takes us back to the mid 90s with Donkey Kong Country for the SNES and both hosts share their remembrances along with their love of Nintendo Power. 

Our hosts each give updates on their main games from the first episode and then each choose one other game to discuss. Blake discusses the now defunct TCG Star Wars Destiny and how he has purchased product for a discount and built more thematic decks to enjoy the game and the game setting casually with friends. Dan discusses a platform puzzler by the name of Inside that he was impressed by the art of the game. That's right he appreciated art, you know it must be beautiful for him to even notice. After this discussion the hosts combine forces to discuss a new game whose Kickstarter has just completed, Solforge Fusion. Our hosts are actively creating weekly content on Blake's YouTube channel for this game and recording a game or two per video of us playing with the latest iteration as the game is still undergoing final tweaks and balances. Lastly Dan brings up a game from his distant past for the Games that Made us section and discusses SNK's Baseball Stars for the NES.
