This special edition of the Geekbox is an audio recording of the GFW Radio (or "Brodeo") Reunion podcast, performed live for a packed crowd at Penny Arcade Expo 2009 in Seattle, WA. The podcast reunites former Computer Gaming World/Games for Windows: The Official Magazine editors Jeff Green, Sean Molloy, Ryan Scott, Shawn Elliott, and Robert Ashley for a two-hour marathon of discussion, reflection, and awesomely horrible findings on that thing we call the Internet. Special thanks to Aaron Simmer, Bill Mudron, David Ellis, the PAX staff, and everyone who showed up to watch us ramble. This is part 2 of 2. Outro theme created by Nightmare Key!
