Ep 104: PAX Unplugged 2022
Apologies for the sound quality -- Lindsay got a new mic and it... did not work well, to say the least. Anyways, we all went to PAX Unplugged once again and it was the least stressful PAX yet. We found fun in some unexpected games and ate delicious food. What else could you want?

Customer Reviews
Loved the Three Body Problem series coverage
Found you guys looking for a podcast about Three Body and found more delightful content about gaming, nice!
It’s fine
Really enjoying listening to you guys.
Sometimes you guys volume levels are really imbalanced, though. Like one person is way quieter than the others so I end up getting my ears blasted off because I turned the volume up to hear them.
Besides that, really great content. Don’t always agree with what you’re saying, but you hold true to the title of the show in that yor opinions are very thoughtfully considered. I especially liked the abstract games episode. Haven’t really heard many people talk about Go, so that was cool. And the Mage Knight episode was fine. Haha. (Mage Knight is great solo, btw. But best with 2-players.)
Anyways, keep it up! Looking forward to hearing more.
Amazing podcast
The guys make it feel like you are part of the group. Great in depth podcast and we'll worth a listen
