Ep24: I Wasn't Making Japanese Mayonnaise

Will the subscription service doom us all?

Its a slow news week and the lads: James, Phil, and Ian, recorded the night before the launch of the switch. Great idea, right? Nevertheless, they found ways to keep you entertained while you drink. Amidst the discussions about cyst removal, pizza glory holes, the strangest thing they'd subscribe to, midwestern cities that Phil hates, and why wolves are awesome you'll find some pretty good talk about gaming subscription models (what with the new Xbox Game Pass and all). Cheers!

Ep3: The Sheboygan Fighting Raccoon Home Invaders

Bragging rights: achievements in video games. Then, now, the good, the bad.

This time around, the lads (minus James because he's probably passed out in a gutter somewhere in Vegas) chat about achievements in gaming. Modern day unlock notifications and trophies vs. the leaderboards and rumors of yesteryear. Where did they come from and what got us to where we are? Are the new methods of bragging rights better than the days of old? What about YouTube and Twitch subcultures of glitching and speedrunning?
