In this, the 110th EVER episode of the Botch Games podcast, we celebrate the end of THREE school years by talking about a whole bunch of games. In the family segment, Tyler (no longer a high school junior) and Erin (a recent BSN grad) talk with Craig (a regular guy) about the games they've played as a family. Spoiler, there's a lot. In the third segment, Derek (now an ABD. You know what you are...) talks with Craig about Escape Plan, the new Shadi Torbet game, Manashard, and an Arkham Horror LCG update. Lots to do, little time to listen, so GET AT IT!
In this, the 97th episode of the Botch Games podcast, we begin with some troubling news: we've put out another episode. Like, who does this, keeps at something this long, almost four years, in some Sisyphean hellscape? Ah well, at least Craig is joined by some wonderful people. Like his lovely wife Erin, who is currently on a 134 game win streak against her ne'er do well husband. Or how about Matt and Derek, making the third segment now 100% full of dads. Enjoy the episode, your medal is in the mail. Show Times: Intro: 0:14 Family Segment: 4:08 The Third Segment with Matt and Derek: 18:45 Wrap-Up: 1:02:57 Punchboard Media Stinger: 1:07:55
