Ready for Summer

It’s weird the “Summer of Games” has lasted 11 years.

As the title implies, I work a very long, grueling job and these podcasts help me learn about game studies and philosophies I would never had crossed paths with otherwise. Thanks Ranged Touch! As an added bonus, I sound like a genius next to my Fox News educated parents. ;)
