While all of this craziness was happening at home, the world's largest gaming convention, Gamescom, was taking place in Germany this week and we would be remiss if we didn't talk about some the biggest events taking place there. Plus, so much more!

Our landmark 25th episode welcomes founder, host, mentor, and legendary podcaster, Danny Pena (aka Godfree) of GamerTag Radio to Brookago! He talks to us about his start in the industry and how much work it takes to be successful (Spoiler alert: A LOT). Kahlief and Cicero talk about EA Access and Playstation Now again and we play another version of #TrueFronts!

Insomniac's Lisa Brown visits Brookago to talk about their new game, Slow Down, Bull. We find out how to get your game into a quilt, how awesome eye trackers are and the nuanced greatness of the NES' Rambo video game! Wonderful easter eggs abound! Listen in!

Brookago gets a new resident in the form of video game developer extraordinaire, Mike J. Mika, maker of the upcoming title #IDARB! We discover what that Kahlief and Cicero form a new version of Voltron. Mike describes the brilliance that is #IDARB while giving us pearls from his four decades in the gaming industry. As you can imagine, being in the industry that long affords you the opportunity to meet lots of folks and we hear about ALL of them! Plus Mike and Cicero make a perfect wrestling tag team?

The Bombastic Brothers from Brookago are back together again! We get sappy as we talk about Kahlief's pending move to Portland, Cicero's Cannonball Run and Kojima's shame. Want an athletic scholarship to an okay college, find out inside. And we FINALLY give props and thanks to those of you who have given us props and thanks! So much more...

When Shareef Jackson comes to hang out in Brookago we can't put the podcast in the corner! We go longform again as we talk Watch_Dogs extended review, Mario Kart 8 review and E3 previews and predictions for Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Stubby Stan gets a little delirious & demonstrates why you should never ask him for a shout out. Plus, the internet's street was talking about it so it has been done: Agent Jackson vs. Stubby Stan - Mic Check as DMX number 1! Dope music by Sammus and much, much more!

This week we welcome New York Video Games Critics Circle member, Don't Lose Your Day Job content creator and beastly beard grower, Kevin L. Clark to the Brookago arcade. We talk about all the work he's done, how DLYDJ became a thing and what's in store for the future. Kev's stays for The Breakdown where we learn that you should simultaneously trust everything that Stubby Stan says and ignore everything he utters. Also, we find out that Japanese corporations don't necessarily operate like American ones, and that's a good thing.
