All by myself again! It's Jared to give you an update and some ideas about what is going on around these parts. 

When it rains it pours it seems. This week Jared was sick and had to rest. Have another gameclub update/re-release!

Jared was released from finishing his notice period this week and had to do a little scrambling and have a small existential crisis. He's fine, and we'll be back next week. Enjoy another classic gameclub episode!

Good day folks! We finally recorded our gameclub for Civ 6 as well as discussed a number of other things in a freestyle franken type recording, but rest assured this is fresh content. We hope you enjoy!

Greetings! We have another classic episode update to put on the feed this week. If all goes well, Rage's work schedule is changing and will allow us a more guaranteed recording slot to utilize within in the next week or so. 

We have another one of these update/clean ups of a classic episode of ours to help account for the ongoing family disaster stealing Jared away from recording. We hope you have a good and safe weekend and we'll see you soon!

This week we recorded some franken style content telling Jared's clinic drama as he moves to start his own business. There's some other stuff here too, and we'll be getting to the game club in the next real episode!

Welcome back to another update/re-release of an old episode.  This week Jared had some struggles that prevented a recording. We hope you enjoy, and in the next recording Jared will share the juicy details he can

This week Rage had very bad work scheduling and so we knew from the start we'd have a Franken Episode. We hope you enjoy this one and will see you again soon. 

This week, the two of us recorded some "franken" style content for an episode because it was very late when we started. We don't want to do this all the time, but it helps us stay a little more current when work is very much in the way. We hope you enjoy!

Topics list: For Show Date: 07/03/2025    June Gameclub: GTA 5 Next Gameclub: Civilization 6 Online Piracy's Great Comeback Anthem isn’t dead… yet News Items and sources:   Online Piracy's Great Comeback https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwuXF1AyKak   Anthem Game Update https://www.ea.com/games/anthem/news/anthem-game-update

We did in fact record this week, and it was an intentional Franken style episode. Things went a little awry and we got a very late start, but we did start! There is a smattering of topics such as a brief glimpse into what the franken episode might look like, some steam summer sale talk, and magical adventure to some anime horse girls. Yes. That is a real game and anime. 

This week the episode goes up late. Jared had a very serious plague, and was more or less out of commission until this morning. Where he promptly forgot to do the franken edit until late in the afternoon. He will be severely punished in a way he isn't into, and will get back to you next week. Enjoy!

This week scheduling conflict got in the way again, but I recorded a little something about a several games I have been playing that won't make into the main show at some point. Enjoy! and we'll keep trying to schedule ourselves correctly to record a new show. 

This week we needed to do another re-upload. Work schedules and tech issues prevented us from getting together with enough solid time to record an episode. We hope you enjoy this episode, chosen because May is Mental Health Awareness month, which is an update and re-upload of the gameclub episode covering A Normal Lost Phone, and Another Lost Phone. 

This is a small snippet of franken episode from the last recording. We were unable to record this week due to a tornado tearing through Jared's location. He's fine, but the infrastructure was down for a few days of recovery. So we were unable to record or do a larger franken piece this week. We hope you enjoy none the less!
