Games that Build Cred

[EDIT] In this episode, Mark falsely attributes the co-authorship of Ayar to Nestore Mangone, when in fact it was designed by Mandela Fernandez-Grandon and Fabio Lopiano. We regret the error. Have you heard of the Walker Quint? This patent-pending, uncopyrightable system is more than just a game organizational schema--it is a multipurpose framework that will REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFE in every way!

London united by Nursery Rhymes | Triforce #359

Triforce! Episode 359 - the heatwave special! It's a record beating scorcher in the UK so we're staying inside to record a podcast. Lewis has a sore wrist thinking about Brittany (in France, not Spears), we uncover an interesting story about the ancient meme: Techno Viking and Sips imagines a London united under a storm singing old nursery rhymes (like Wind the Bobbin Up, apparently.)
