    Bonus - Live at Tattooed Mom's (2019)

    Episode Notes Bonus - Live at Tattooed Mom's (2019) As I mentioned last episode, here's a quick bonus recording! In the summer of 2019 (remember those days?) I recorded an episode of Power Time in front of a live audience at Tattooed Mom's in Philadelphia. TMom's was one of my favorite drinking establishments in the city back in my younger days. It was a blast to take my love for Nintendo Power to the fine folks that showed up that day. Before the live recording, I also share a few words about the future of Power Time. Enjoy!
