Video Game Logic Podcast

Greetings friends, Jared's internet was dead again. This time it was so bad and Jared complained so much, they sent him new network equipment to try to fix the problem. We'll see next week if it actually does, but In the mean time enjoy one more tiny teaser about Satisfactory before the next Episode is our full Gameclub Discussion on it.

We both took time to be with our Families this week, and hope you all had a happy turkey day as well, even if you don't celebrate!

In this episode of the Video Game Logic Podcast, we do a recording, but we're tired and old and so we didn't stick fully to the show format. We discuss games played, a smidgeon of news, and toaster ovens! Just, in a somewhat disorganized manner. Enjoy the show.

The boys finally get to Fallout 76, and only sprinkle in a little politics into the ending. We appreciate your patience and hope you enjoy the show.

The boys tonight engage in a post election discussion. We let out a lot of pent up feelings we've had since Tuesday night. We absolutely understand if you don't need this right now and need to skip this week. The next episode will Discuss Fallout 76, and the following gameclub is Satisfactory. We hope you all stay safe out there. 

Rage and Jared this week continue to be old men who are tired and broken. Next week, recording day is the US election, and we're going to stress way to much over what is going to happen. Perhaps we'll record it if there is a request. We hope you stay safe out there!

In this franken/non franken episode we talk about Rage's time at the Con, a single game I played, and explain why this one is weird. Next week is this months Gameclub Episode, so if you still want to participate, you've got time to play Fallout 76!

This week it was Jared's turn to mess things up. I forgot I had an event for my kid the day we decided we would record. So I had to go do that instead. Enjoy medical stories this week, and some more US politics stuff. 

This week, Rage is on his yearly pilgrimage to his state's anime convention. We pull some franken content from a recent recording, where we get very political. Given the nature of the discussion, and the time of year it is in America, we absolutely understand if you wish to skip this one. We'll be back with anime con stories and video game BS soon!
