Episode 86 – The PAX East After Party

It’s a good, old-timey, GFB Radio show where Darryl and Dave are back on Skype where they belong!

Darryl starts off with a story of home improvement gone awry, and a tale of Dutch shipping heroics the likes of which you have never heard.

Dave jumps into an (unintentionally long) story about parenting woes, and the day-in day-out rigors of raising kids who have no problem lying to your face.

Then, finally, like a beam of light setting an otherwise bleak landscape ablaze, the guys recap PAX. Booth setup promlems? #GOTEM. PAXAMANIA stories? #GOTEM? Let’s Rank It and meet-up recap? Yeah, son, you know we got those for days.

Episode 84 – PAX BOUND!

It’s a Lang-only, email- heavy show this week so if that’s not your cup of tea…too late, Trick, you already downloaded it! Thanks and sorry not sorry.

If you’re hitting up PAX East in a few days definitely listen to the beginning of this show as Lang goes over all GFB-related dealings at PAX East.

Aside from that lots of emails get answered. Some are good, some aren’t, and one is genuinely regrettable. Which ones are which? Who can say.

 

 

 

 

Actually, and this is a technicality, really, you could say. You just need to listen to this episode.

Episode 83 – The Best Day Of The Internet

Hey, you! Yes, you! The one person who gives a fuck about these bespoke, hand-crafted show notes! I would have much preferred to go to bed, but instead stayed up to get this done for you. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey! Where are you going? You barely glanced over here…no way you read all these Show Notes.

Wow. So that’s how it is? You treating me like I’m a fucking ghost now? Like I’m not even here?

*Three Hours Pass*

Okay, listen, I get it. I made that weird. I got way too tight about the show notes.

It’s just that after the last couple weeks I thought you cared.

*Two more hours pass*

It’s just that…

I don’t….

*Yet two more hours pass*

I don’t know what to think anymore

*An hour goes by*

*You get a text message from a number you don’t recognize*

What are you wearing?

Episode 82 – Do you have any Caramel Eggs?

Does anybody really read the show notes?

Continue reading Episode 82 – Do you have any Caramel Eggs?

Episode 80 – CCGesus

It’s a solo show for Lang, as he failed to do any interviews whilst at GDC. He answered a bunch of emails, read some iTunes reviews, and in general did his best not to make a mockery of the Platform of Excellence that has been established for the show. This is validated with some iTunes reviews, including one that dubbed Darryl Wisner as CCGesus, a.k.a. the greatest nickname of all time (which up until now belonged to Dominique Wilkins, a.k.a. the Human Highlight Reel and Dave’s college acquaintance Big Breakfast).

Episode 79 – How Are Your Rock Features?

Dave is in Orlando and this podcast was recorded at Casa de Wisner. It’s an email heavy show, but Darryl does talk about some shenanigans he saw off of Orange Ave. while walking to work one day, and we’re all worse for hearing that story.

Then the guys start to work through the email backlog. I won’t bore you with all the details, but the guys touch on lots of different topics: Genital dreads, software unit tests, RUN GFB, Dave being way too drunk at the Giant Bomb PAX Prime party, etc. you get the gist of it.

Episode 78 – CCGs In The House

It’s a Lang-only show, but instead of panicking Dave called in some favors and got some CCGs lined up for what is, without a doubt, the Greatest Episode of All Time (also the longest episode of all time for those scoring at home).

Dave starts off with a DICE summary with Playstation’s Adam Boyes. The guys talk about DICE itself, after hours stuff, and the now infamous Friday night at Omnia. No phone numbers were tweeted out during this segment.

Then, Dave welcomes travel bestie Kelly Wallick to the show to discuss travel, specifically to Japan. They debate the merits of Tokyo and Kyoto, and try to get everyone excited enough about Japan to book a trip there immediately.

After that Dave chats with Justin Woodward about lots of stuff, but mostly his company’s new game that’s up on fig.co right now. This game is CCG approved.

Dave rounds out this monster of an episode with a grip of emails before passing out in a heap on the floor.

Episode 77 – The Halo Crab Thing

Hello Everyone! After a week of radio silence the guys are back and better than ever.

First, they start with a heartfelt apology about last week. They tried their best, they failed, and you picked them up. Sorry/Thank You.

The guys then plug the first ever Team GFB Play Date (info here), Dave talks about The Witness (again), before launching into an extended travelogue from his trip to SF.

Darryl had an unexpected trip to Chicago while Dave was out, and his visit coincided with a company Bender, and he did it real big.

They guys wrap the show with four STRONG emails, and manage to plug their PAX East panel in their answers (they are pros).

Episode 76 – Clip Show II: Clippy’s Revenge

This is rad. We didn’t get to do a show this week so some community members made a clip show.

Thanks for @elcaminodino and @alecgwin and anyone else for making this happen. Super cool!
