Hey Podtimists,

This week David goes to the beach and Chase goes to the Square Enix parade (its also just video games).

We also took a deeper look at the video game and NOT the band Dragonforce. This was suggested to us by listener Guardian, thanks for your suggestion!

Hey Podtimists,

This week David is on a well earned vacation and so we called in help from our dear friend AJ Fillari! AJ speaks on their experience with a number of fairly new games and Chase opens a meatball store.

We also took a deeper look at the new space crafting game, appropriately named SpaceCraft! We were provided codes for this game, thanks to Shiro Games for that! Also thanks so much to AJ for coming on and talking about video games!

Hey Podtimists,

This week David gets to know his new friend Elliot just a little better and Chase revisits TWO old favs.

We also took a deeper look at the best game ever made, Mr. Bones. This was suggested to us by listeners Cameron and V (although we didn't get V's suggestion until after we recorded the episode). Thanks to you both and happy Saturn Summer!
