Guys Games and Beer

Join the guys for a not so relaxing game of Bang: a spaghetti western card game. As usual mild rule confusion, back stabbing and immature name calling are all part of the game as the guys geek out in Larry's love lounge. No topics to get in the way... just good times The website for Bang! is in Italian, but here's the link! . The Wiki (in English) can be found here.  Don't see the podcast player?

Larry cheats at cards. He hides 'em up his sleeves, under his beard, and even has a couple tucked in his fuzzy belly button. Last week he got busted when he tried to play a Munchkin treasure card during a particularly heated game of blackjack. This statement has little to do about this particular episode... it just needs to be said. No-one should win as often as he does.... Oh, speaking of cards, you fine listeners are in for a treat tonight as Forrest Bower from Baca Forrest Games chats with the guys about the upcoming Kickstart for Help Wanted: an adult card game where players compete to solve problems with often hilarious results. Topics include what everyone has been playing, whether card games or pen and paper games are more fun, and the much feared What Have We Learned. Beer is spilled, Ben and Rob disappear for awhile and madness ensues. Basically exactly what you expect from Guys, Games and Beer!  Don't see the podcast player?

The Gutter Geeks take on the anatomy of male rats, what they have been playing and the drinks and games of summer. Larry gets yelled at for talking too much, Rob clearly just wants to get to the pub and someone accidentally gets hit in the face. We are not releasing the name of the face-hitting victim to build dramatic tension. Pull up a seat, plug in your headphones and strap yourself in for another episode of Guys Games and Beer!  Don't see the podcast player?

IT's giant robot night! Tom pulled out his projector and the guys brought out all their million-button,slider, flightstick and flip switch controllers to play their favorite mech games while watching a certain ill-fated mech movie sequel.

This episode was shot outside with a crowd so expect some background noise... and some love.  Don't see the podcast player? You can install it HERE or you can listen ON THE INTERNET ARCHIVE instead!

Well, some G2B episodes are rougher than others, and this one is definitely leans toward “damn rough”. Larry hits the hard stuff, and Noobette encourages bad behavior by forcing Jamison down everyone's throats completely against their will. Really.....

While the Gutter Geeks all agree that the latest console offerings from Microsoft and Sony are not very exciting, they have a spirited debate (yell-off) as to why these systems just aren't getting their juices flowing. Rob laments the fact that he is still waiting for his Ouya to ship, Tom demonstrates his Harmony cartridge that allows him to run Atari 2600 games from an SD card, Rob shows off his JMX 7300 gaming tablet that he bought from the eerily named Wilgoo.com. Not enough nerdness? Well, Travis has his gaming laptop strewn in pieces across the floor for the entire episode.. like Braveheart! Add a bonus discussion about the Maid Roleplaying game and you have one heck of a loud and crazy episode of Guys Games and Beer!  Don't see the podcast player?

P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } The G2B crew lands at Toad Hall in downtown Racine, Wisconsin to record the pinnacle of podcasting greatness. Cringe as the Gutter Geeks discuss what they have been playing, what they have been up to and the suffering of Electronic Arts and why EA damn well deserves it. Oh yeah, and the surprise topic of tabletop role playing games comes up with predictably terrifying results. General insults, crosstalk and intermittent background noise are par-for-the-course in this toadtastic episode of Guys Games and Beer! Horrible vulgarity warning: Tavern episodes are recorded with G2B hosts 21 years old and older only, therefore this episode is predictably more rough than usual. ALERT!
