Just FYI, the itunes has the wrong url for this podcast. Looks like they have it as:
http://www.thegaminggang.com/audio/TGG-EP01-10-25-2010.mp3
Looks like it is fixed now. Thanks!
Another good podcast although I wish there had been more from Jeff and James. I almost felt like I was listening to the Elliott show.
I know, even I was sick of me. It was just because I had a lot going on this time. Next time it will be back to a more even keel.
Well, Elliott had all the goings on so there was the focus on Arkham Nights and Mansions of Madness. Next time around you’ll hear more from me, I promise!
