I can’t say we had any great sense of dissatisfaction with any particular websites or podcasts that were on the scene at the time but we both agreed it was quite possible the two of us might bring something a little different to ...

Due to the fact Elliott and I spent a good part of last week working on editing the “Extras” from Origins (and we still have a handful to post) we didn’t have any time to get much gaming in; Elliott lucked out and played a bit with his son but I, on the other hand, did not. The podcast will return next week, in it’s usual Monday slot! Read More »
A lot of folks have asked Elliott and I how they can donate to The Gaming Gang. Our reply has always been mainly about our game plan, when we launched the website, which was to be unlike many other sites out there and never ask our visitors or listeners for anything other than helping to spread the word . Honestly, some folks seem disappointed that they can’t send a few ... Read More »
Come on down and say hi to Jeff and Elliott at this weekend’s Origins Game Fair. Not only are the terrible twosome going to be covering the show but they’ll actually have a media table smack dab in the middle of the gaming area in Hall D! Obviously much of the day the table will be unattended – as the boys go about getting interviews with exhibitors and guests – ... Read More »
I have to say we’re pretty excited to find we’ve moved into the top one million sites in the world recently! Sure, that may not seem all too impressive but when you consider there are approximately over 378 million websites active at any one time, we have to smile. The biggest thanks we can pass out is to You! Our visitors have really supported “the little website that can” – ... Read More »

I thought I’d share the final art for our promo card to be included with the Kickstarter backed Nature of the Beast: Prairie vs Polar from Eye-Level Entertainment. A little good cop, bad cop would you say? Read More »

In the end, The Gaming Gang wound up as the top vote getter in the favorite podcast contest the guys at Eye-Level Entertainment were running for their Nature of the Beast: Prairie vs Polar Kickstarter project.

Unfortunately my little cat knocked over my mic stand Tuesday night and now the microphone doesn’t work correctly. Luckily I’d already recorded the intros and outros for the two remaining Vul-Con interviews but all other recording will have to wait until this weekend when I can get out to the musical supply stote here that carries Shure mics. And they are not cheap by any stretch … or at least ... Read More »
