    BBR 02/02/2025: Game of the Year 2024 Part 1

    Using the scientist approved and commonly understood method of reverse-order-about-10-games-from-roughly-the-past-year we begin to uncover the Game of the Year 2024.  Its all in good fun as the corn coast gang meet up with the beast coast fellas to talk about our favorite games over the last year.  Its going to be a long one so we broke it into two parts.  Enjoy our journey as more games keep coming out and we have less time for them all.  But that will not stop us this year, last year, or ever!!!  Also Jaime bought a 3D printer.

    BBR 06/30/2024: A Scissors but its the Shocker

    Video Games are upon us.  Like the timely groundhog, we emerge from our middle aged burrows to look for our shadows and determine the state of video games in 2024.  Lots to talk about and catch up on since we haven't recorded in a bit, but we keep it crisp.  Watch out for spoilers and no stealing the shocker scissors patent pending.
