Rage got his PC back together but it's still broken. Next up on the list is the CPU. We've got him a rescue laptop on the way, so unless it also is broken then next week we should be back in business.....emphasis on the should. I fly solo in a news sweep extravaganza, so hopefully you find me entertaining. I don't mind if you laugh at me, not just with me.

Rage did get his motherboard back, but not in time for a recording. Lexi graciously agreed to come do a full show with me and boy is it a doozy. We recorded for over two hours and talked about 10 video games! We hope you enjoy this oddly game specific episode of our Video Game podcast.

This week Rage's PC is still broken, I sift up the last dregs of Franken Content, and you guys get our shortest episode ever. Next week we'll be back on track. Either Rage will have gotten his board replaced, or I'll be doing another interview. Although this time they've agreed to host a standard full episode. Cheers!

Rage's PC is still broken this week, although good news! It is being repaired under warranty. We have an oddly video game focused franken discussion this week amid some audio oddities from the Craig Recording.
