Part 1 of 2 covering Play NYC happening at the Metropolitan Pavilion this weekend hosted by Playcrafting! Hell of a day. For now I just want to cover some big stuff. No recaps of games (don't worry) or anything, just giving a big shoutout to Playcrafting and Decoy Games. I had the honor of participating in Decoy Games first ever Unleash Cup. It was a great day. Even though I will not be giving a play by play of the tourney, I do have some words to share and feelings to express. It was a great event and I am happy to have a chance to share it today. Seeing as it is Saturday, we will be having a Part 2 coming out that will be a recap and cover all the games I got to play at Play NYC. I saw some familiar faces and met new ones. All those details coming in Part 2 which, depending on when I finish a script, will be uploaded Sunday Night or Monday. Stay connected on Twitter and FB to hear the news. Next week will be a normal scheduled episode. Smartboy P.S, I'm going to finally finish eating my sandwich.
Hey everyone, full disclosure before you listen or watch the episode: Let me start off by saying that Josh Amy and myself love the podcast and work very hard. Lately we have had some bad luck with small issues. It looks like there might be another this week, the audio on Josh and Amy's side is not up the normal standard. Seems their recording software may have pulled from a less than ideal audio device. We're really sorry guys, it might seem like we are getting sloppy but it's quite the opposite, we really are vigilant and working hard. I hope this is the last time I'll have to announce something like this for a long time.From here on out we are putting special measures in to make sure everything goes smoothly. Apologies again everyone but we hope you still enjoy the episode. As always thank you for all the support. On the 63rd episode of Third Player Games Podcast, the gang gets a bit lazy! Just kidding.
