34 - The Stout Panda Tribe Project Sep 23, 2016

Show notes

Dan's back this week for a tabletop game filled episode - discussing Takenoko, Five Tribes, and Manhattan Project: Chain Reaction. This week's beer was provided by a friend (and sometimes member) of the show - Paul and was Fireside's first stout. Unsure of whether Paul was just trolling them they sampled it regardless and were pleasantly surprised.0:00 - Intro

32 - A Plague of Mr. Dan the Man Sep 09, 2016

Show notes

Spattered with various subtopics and sidetracks Dan and Dave talk about Blokus, Zombicide, Dan the Man, and Mr. Robot this week. Of course it wouldn't be a Fireside without beer (although, evidently, it can be a Fireside without fire) so they are accompanied by the delicious Sapporo Premium Beer. Take your shoes off, sit back, relax and enjoy*.
*Advice not intended for those listening while nude skydiving, horseback riding, or providing eulogies at a funeral.

29 - The Best Thing About Fireside Is The Titles! Aug 19, 2016

Show notes

The best thing about this week's episode is Dan & Dave's discussion of Civilization V - no other simulator can compare with an epic of such scale! That said, the best thing about this episode is actually Pandemic: The Cure - no other game provides a better simulated experience for budding doctors than this dice adventure! When all is said and done however, the best thing about this week's episode is Steam Park - where else can you while away the hours cleaning up robot poop and building fun rides? Which leaves us with Talisman - easily the best thing about this week's episode! If you're wondering what all this "best thing about" is you really need to head over to Youtube and check out "Why Heroquest is so great" by Bardic Broadcasts. It really is the best thing about YouTube! This week's beer is the Australian made Japanese beer Kirrin - First Press!

28 - Let There Be Structure! Aug 12, 2016

Show notes

After rambling on about FTL for most of last weeks episode a consensus was reached - we need structure... and by structure, I mean a time limit for topics... and by "we", I mean "Dave" - he was the one rambling on after all! Fresh out of an Another Dungeon's August Tabletop Day we had plenty to talk about too, but we hunkered down and narrowed our selection down to the following few titles - Small World Underground, Star Trek Panic, Sushi Go Party, and Discworld: Ankh Mopork. This structured episode was accompanied by the delectable Hoegaarden wit blanche - which, incidently, was Dave's first venture into the world of wheat beer!
00:00 - Intro
03:07 - Quest for Sponsorship - Hoegaarden wit blanche
05:42 - Small World Underground
15:16 - Star Trek Panic
27:18 - Sushi Go Party

25 - Aussie Games And International Beers Jul 22, 2016

Show notes

This is it! The episode where discussion of beer takes up as much time as discussion of games - bringing forth a motion to potentially float an idea that, perhaps, we should extend the podcast timeframe to 40 minutes... maybe. That said we do have time to discuss Elevenses and Town Squares (with honorable mentions to Monopoly Revolution and King of Tokyo)... so it's not all beer!
00:00 - Intro
01:23 - Belated Viking rating
03:50 - This week's beer... Mythos!
07:19 - Elevenses
16:35 - Town Squares
