Funkatronic Rex - Games & More
For those of you who are not familiar with Funkatronic Rex, we are a friendly local game store located in Phoenix, AZ. However, we are quite unique. We tend to be the goofy, gregarious, and non-grindy gaming geeks of the community. With a humble staff of 4 friends, we love our customers dearly and many of them are like family to us. Our social interactions and goal of a warm "Cheers" style vibe has a direct effect on our niche community. As with any community, we have an abundance of hilarious stories and insight. Our aim is to bring you in, share the vibe, and bring the love of the Funk to you in our podcast! We hope you enjoy! https://funkatronicrex.com/ http://www.patreon.com/funkatronicrex http://www.instagram.com/funkatronicrexstore
