It’ll likely be a little louder than usual, so I apologize...

Hey friends, welcome to this episode of the show! First off, an apology. Restream had technical issues yesterday. For some reason only five seconds of our stream went out, and then stopped.

Hey friends, two apologies. First, sorry for it being a day late, yesterday got away from me, and secondly, I forgot to hit record on my mixer, so the audio is taken directly from the OBS video. I hope that’s okay. So, some big news this week. This week, the primary topic is that we’re...

Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I talk about free-to-play games…eventually.

Once we get on...
