Now You're Playing With Podcast

not THE smodcast... just a show on the smodcast network.

I finally got around to listening to that episode. Great work Chris! Kevin Smith's Smodcast network rules but I usually only listen to Jay and silent Bob get old and the original smodcast.

its one of the few podcast networks that isnt blocked at work, so i listen to a good number of the shows. in addition to the staples i particularly enjoy the morning shows with interviews, and Tell em Steve Dave. Bagged & Boarded can be quite manic, but can be quite good. it was nice of matt to talk video game collecting... a subject he wasnt well versed in, rather than only final fantasy.

23 players

audio quality is a bit hissy... but the episode, and the event, was a ton of fun

[chrisbid]

two new guerrilla episodes posted

http://www.nowyoureplayingwith.com/?p=92 - episode 4 recorded in the car on the way home from the 2012 Midwest Gaming Classic

http://www.nowyoureplayingwith.com/?p=96 - episode 5 recorded in the car on the way home from Pinburgh 2012

as you can guess, sound quality isnt great in the car. but both events were awesome and needed to be discussed while fresh on our minds.
