We're back after yet another hiatus to talk about our recent trip to Dragoncon 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. This was probably our greatest Con yet so there is a lot to discuss. Highlights include discussing panels we attended and some of our favorite cosplays from this year. We also review a couple of Drew's birthday beers and hear a pretty decent synopsis of Weekend at Bernie's 2.

We took a not-so-brief hiatus to do life things like get engaged and become gym people.  But now we are back, way better and even more engaged. Did we mentioned we are getting married? We have also spent our time away playing some great games! Drew talks about the games he's been playing, Bailey talks about the games she has not been playing.

Special guest host Daniel "Caliente" Jones joins us to discuss all things Soulsborne. Bailey tries a couple of games in the franchise for the very first time and compares her experience to a couple of veterans of the series. Spoiler alert: She died. We drink a lot of great beer, talk about a lot of games and end the episode with the most challenging Marry, Fuck, Kill game of all time.

On this special first episode of the year, we take a look back at some of our favorite games, beers, tv shows about gay figure skaters and movies that are Star Wars.  Then, we answer a lot listener questions.  Bailey gets deep (you'll hear) about one question in particular.  Grab a warm spot next to the fire, put on your favorite headphones, grab a cold one, and listen us ramble for a little over an hour.  Happy New Year!

On this episode, Drew lands the opening but Bailey really messes up the ending.  We drink some delicious Scottish Ales delivered from Drew's brother in Wisconsin then get into a relatively in-depth (but slightly spoiler free!) discussion of Final Fantasy XV.  We bitch about game combat but bascially rave over everything else in the game....especially Gladioulus, Cindy and equally sexy looking food.  Also featured: Boo the Cat,...

In this episode, we drink fancy Terrapin beers, reminisce on a rather interesting day at Gamestop, and talk a lot about some aweome games we've been playing.  Those games include but are not limited to Battlefield 1 and World of Final Fantasy. Bailey makes a startling announement and has some cosplay inspiration. Drew drowns A LOT of people and serves up a little Maine Justice. Listen all the way to end, folks, this episode...
