Ep 249: Ivan Attacks!

Summary: Clear as a bell, Ivan's deep but cheerful voice boomed into my ears and I knew we were set to record episode 249. We only had an hour blocked off with Ivan, so we needed to have things on a tighter schedule, but we still left a lot of room for hilarity and yucks. Aside from a great discussion on Guardians of the Galaxy, and what we've been playing, and what movies have the best soundtracks, we were talking about what's next, and how Ivan is a part of that. Ivan and I will go on to do our own show, called The Grind, a part of the great community at  MOG Nation.  I hope to spend even more time talking about games (good and bad) and asking thought-provoking questions of interesting people within the industry and the community.  I hope this episode will give you a look into the candor of our banter and that you and your earholes will join us on our adventures. Next week, Cassandra and I will end TMPGotI the way we began it: two friends in a room having a thoughtful discussion and sharing a pitcher of mojitos and each others company. We will continue this time-honored tradition of drunken conversation; we just won't be recording it anymore. Also, since this is my last edit, I wanted to say a couple of things. Thanks to the people who've positively affected us and mentored us through the years of podcasting and all the people we've met at conventions and our travels. I hope I'll still see some of you at EuroGamer this year. Thank you to anyone who has ever been a guest on our show, for you lightened our hearts. To the people who listened from the beginning and who kept listening especially over the past year, you deserve a medal. To the people who have written in and tweeted questions, for you made the show more interesting.  A special thanks to The Efts, Shannon and Loretta for creating our most cherished theme song and for making the awesome geeky music which accompanies me throughout my day. Signing off with a kiss-kiss and Qapla'!
