Frosty Faustings Lit a Fire Under My Ass
It's been a whole dam month but we're here. New episode, new year, new goals! Let's talk about that.
As of recording this, I had just gotten back from Chicago. I went to a "Major" fighting game tournament called Frosty Faustings. I didn't compete, but I went to train and socialize. In this episode, I share my experience and thoughts on the event, and future goals for myself and this podcast.

#130. We predicted these Project L updates
A few years ago Megamaxstar and I discussed the future of the FGC and Project L. For those who don't know Project L is the codename for the fighting game that Riot is making. Riot is the creator of League of Legends. Megamaxstar joins me once again to talk about the new updates to Project L that drop last week! We watch the video diary and discuss the future of fighting games.
