And if you were to guess which host brought up that little historical nugget, you'd be wrong!Possible questions: who would win in a street fight, J.G. Fichte or Nietzsche? Do sheep poop?

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
