Yay for Stock Images! Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter (finally returned from his big move, yay!) and I sit town to talk VR gaming.

What a Lovely Dance… Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends. Before we begin, let me apologize for the audio this week. After unplugging everything this past weekend to dust out the PC, Windows audio had a FIT, and I had to reinstall VoiceMeeter and everything. I THOUGHT I’d had everything working properly before the show, but that wasn’t the case, so the sound is a tad wonky. I will try to fix it by next week. Thanks for your understanding. This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I sit down with Mazer of Eridanus Industries to talk about their upcoming tactical space combat game, NEBULOUS: Fleet Command! We had a very fun time talking about the time, how Mazer’s time in the Navy is improving the game’s development and much more. It’s a really fun show and we hope you enjoy it. Next week on the show, we’ll be talking pricing and entitlement!

Talllk Talkkk Talkity Talk Hey friends, welcome to this week’s show! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I have no set topic. We talk mostly about this news regarding the new LucasFilm Games, which is pretty big, but we pretty much go all over the place. We had fun though, and we hope you do too. Next week we’ll have a topic, but I’m not yet sure what it’ll be. It’ll be fun though!
