Show notes

This week we talk about the effects of negative reviews on our psyche. Ok, Chris's psyche, Josh and Kitty have different options on the subject. But overall we try and answer the question... does hearing something negative about something you like, change how you enjoy that something?

TGT On Topic 189: Revisiting Old Board Games Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

[Note: there was about 1 minute that a bad audio file went live. So if you can't hear Fletcher, you auto downloaded during that minute. Just deleted the file and redownload and everything should be ok.] With so many new releases being delayed and game stores having to fully close down, some of us have had the chance to revisit some old games in our collections. So whether it’s playing a game you haven't played in a while or finally getting a game to the table that’s been sitting on yourself for way too long, we’ll be talking about the advantages of being able to play some older games like they were new again. Next week we'll be recording on Monday, 8:30pm central time (9:30 eastern, 6:30 pacific). If you'd like to hear us in real time and even participate via chat, join us on zoom here. Or open your zoom app and enter meeting id 441-998-566. You can also join by phone (but you'll only be able to listen) at +13126266799,,441998566# If you want to read the credits, send an mp3 (or similar audio file) of you reading the following names.

TGT On Topic 187: Remote Gaming Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

Social distancing seems to be the phrase of the day and with all this distancing we're finding ourselves with a lot of extra time on our hands. So what do gamers do with extra time, they game, but... oh right, we need to social distance. In this episode we talk about ways we can still game without being in the same room.

TGT On Topic 184: Long-Form Gaming Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

This week we go long. Well not really long in the episode, but long in gaming. Or really we just talk about long gaming sessions. Like all day or maybe even a weekend. Sometimes the same game, sometimes a series of games. Sometimes you just need to go through an entire legacy game in one session (ok, no, you should never really do that). But in any case we're talking about long gaming sessions. Because they are fun! If you want to read the credits, send an mp3 (or similar audio file) of you reading the following names.

TGT On Topic 183: Competitive Legacy Games Feb 25, 2020

Show notes

This week we're talking about competitive legacy games (or campaign games) and how the story can overshadow the game play and desire to win. At least for some people. This is all spoiler free, mostly because we don't remember enough of some of these games to spoil them in the first place, and because it's not nice to spoil stuff.
