In this episode, we talk about a big part of Mint Condition: Collectable Card Games (CCG). We share our memories about getting into gaming at Mint, the different card games we played, the type of social group it created at the store, and the conversation also leads to other thoughts about collecting and life in general. We also finally answered a listener question from Sean McNally that was posted in our Facebook group in March and going forward we will answer questions in a timelier manner. So please reach out to us through the Facebook group, Instagram or email. 00:00 We start our conversation about Collectable Card Gaming (CCG) at Mint Condition. Joe begins the conversation by talking about his memories of gaming at the store, then Chris shares his original foray into playing CCGs. 10:00 James begins to recount how he got into CCGs. We end up taking a slight detour into collecting in general and how we still collected comics, even when the books were not that good. 17:00 The conversation turns to the notion of needing a break from feverishly collecting anything as a hobby. We talk about how collecting habits change and how those habits are changed by different priorities in life. 23:40 Joe asks James and Chris if there were any CCG crossovers. Joe also asks Chris and James why many games are based on fantasy and not on other genres. This opens up a discussion about who plays these games versus the perception of who plays these games, game design, and some of Chris' ideas for game creation. 36:15 Joe also asks whether or not games like Magic: The Gathering were as complex as they seemed and whether or not that was an intentional design choice. This opens a broader conversation about the possibility that this perception is more about how someone teaches you the game vs how complex the rules of the game actually are. Chris compares how he would teach someone to play Magic: The Gathering now as opposed to twenty years ago, and this leads into a conversation about meeting people where they are at when teaching. 52:25 We ask Joe to finish a story about the “Big Figure” controversy in Hero Clix, leading us back to discussing good game design vs bad game design and where making money fits into the conversation. 57:10 We finally answer a question that was posted on the Facebook page from Sean Mcnally: “Who is the most powerful superhero in our opinion, that is not Superman because he is too overpowered.” 1:07:25 We end the show with our audience recommendations.

Heavy Metal was a mainstay at The Channel. In 2015 VH1 named it one of the Top 10 venues for heavy metal ever.

The Channel became a musical melting pot in a city still divided by parochial neighborhoods and lingering racial animosities. A club on a desolate stretch of the Boston waterfront became a hub for rock ‘n’ roll, punk, hardcore, straight-edge, and a rapidly developing ska scene. Radio stations were battling for dominance. Politicians were looking to score points by using The Channel to further their agendas. And another local club owner--and Godson of a fearsome mafiosi--is hanging around The Channel. Little did he know that his time was running out… This is the fifth chapter of the true and complete story of Boston’s legendary live music club, The Channel. As this 10-episode season continues, you’ll hear all about the club’s gritty beginnings, 1980s live music heyday, and the bitter end, when local mobsters leave the club in ruins...and leave one man dead, sparking a 25-year mystery.

Cat Crave Radio is back with Episode 77! We’re all trying to recover after the Carolina Panthers horrible loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Let’s hope this show helps. The best news we got all week was the return of Tom Sorensen of the Charlotte Observer. His last visit with us was back in February so it was good to have him back. We talked about Jake Delhomme (of course!) and where this team goes from here. Sean McNally of Blogging Dirty was with us filling the role of the Enemy. Sean gave us the Falcons‘ perspective on the upcoming divisional showdown. Nick Yeoman was back to provide the Panthers fan’s view of how the Falcons game might go. We had to talk him down off the ledge first. We also included another edition of Boom Or Bust as well as a Pick ‘Em segment. Thanks for listening! Enjoy!

Cat Crave Radio is back with Episode 67! This past week saw the end to the Julius Peppers saga for the Carolina Panthers - finally! And there was news other than that, believe it or not. We tried something different this week. We invited bloggers for rival teams to join us for some smack talk. Two of them took the bait. Dustin Staggers of The Pewter Plank representing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Sean McNally of Blogging Dirty representing the Atlanta Falcons joined us. The New Orleans Saints couldn’t provide us with a blogger brave enough to take part. The segment followed a simple format - we ask a question and they ask a question followed by one minute of smack talk. Check it out especially since we took the liberty of laying it on thick. We also threw in a Rant Or Rave. Our topic this week - Twitter and its prevalent use among some NFL players. Our old friend Nick Yeoman is still being prevented from joining us thanks to technical issues. But don’t forget his video blogs over on You Tube!
