Talking To Ghosts

This week we talk to Will Lewis from Portland Indie Gaming Squad (PIGSquad) about starting an indie gaming community from scratch here in Portland, OR. Will teaches us about an A M A Z I N G role playing game called Microscope and gives us some insight into turning gamers into developers through game jams and other community events. 

For more information about game jams, gaming events, and other fun stuff, please visit the PIGSquad Official Website! You can also follow Will Lewis on Twitter @gamewillpdx

Wrekmeister Harmonies is still on tour! Go see them live.

This week we talked with (and sort of got interviewed by?) writer, podcaster, and editor Sarah Mirk! We talked about living in a preschool, creating your own rules for relationships, subculture, and spent a not so small amount of time shitting on the goth scene (Sorry goth scene, we love you! Sort of!).

Also Michael says some crazy bullshit about Settlers of Catan that turned out to be wrong.
