Final Fantasy posting continues, along with the return of Smoking Mids, featuring Lenny, aka Ajanisgaypridemate!

    STOP. BEING. GREEDY. IN 2026! (and play with your booster. 2026) Cole and Empress Quinn are joined by SteelCitySteph (@steelcitysteph @ Bluesky), of SteelCityMTG! A little dinosaur told the hosts that Steph said something sacrilegious, so they had to take her to court. Cole does some retro gaming and combat-based crimes with Sephiroth and Isshin. Quinn is scammin', warpin' and voidin', while continuing faer playthroughs of Final Fantasy. Steph talks TTRPGs, combat shenanigans with her Boros deck, and why you should be playing with your sealed Magic booster packs. (Remember to leave a comment, it brings the hosts joy!)

    I'm An Innocent Angel Who Can Do No Wrong (Derogatory) - HBVC Radio EP 55

    So you think you can just do that in a game of Magic: the Gathering and NOT be judged? You know what you've done. And I'm telling everyone! The hosts are back and winding down for the holidays. Cole talks about Outer Worlds 2's dystopian star system, Arcadia. Quinn talks about Summoner Roleplay Experiences in Final Fantasy X, while dropping a Final Fantasy beat for intermission. An endless amount of Magic Content is discussed, 2 and half hour review of Final Fantasy XII was watched, and turns out a mythic rare is pretty busted in the zone. Who knew?

    Sometimes, a mage has gotta get down and dirty, touch grass, feel the earth...just as long as it isn't on my front yard! GIT! (Remember to leave a comment, it brings the hosts joy!) Cole and Empress Quinn are joined by Fredo (@virtue.bsky.social on Bluesky), game developer for trading card games by day and New Perspectives Grant extraordinaire by night. He takes the hosts around the block, talking about Latin American Content Creation and Magic, how content creation lead him to his current job, how he loves all things Fallout, Jeskai and Equipment, and how you should play White as a primary color, rather than secondary. Cole likes the new podcast logo he designed, and puts a card on notice. Quinn dabbles in mono-blue duelist and some light reanimation, and can't finish another video game.
