Episode 31 - All Alone in the Night
Squideye and The Bitter Guy
The Rise of Babylon 5... rising? We chat about a CW show we really liked, and an upcoming CW show we're hoping we really like, because it's based on a WB show we really, really liked. I didn't really give this one an extensive listen, and also I threw together some artwork; thanks Canva!

Episode 29 - OHOtMU Summer Memories
Squideye and The Bitter Guy
Did we miss anything? We talk about time past, our schedules these days, the different platforms out there these days, and how we interact with memories (particularly Memories, the Facebook product). We meander a lot. We talk about building and rebuilding collections via auction lots, and spend a lot of time shouting out local superstar and friend-of-the-show Jim Zub, and the games of one Mr. Robin Laws. Squideye also winds up giving a fairly complete gameplay walkthrough of Cosmic Encounter, which isn't Twilight Imperium. And the clock is ticking on Audacity.
