The TGG Show Hits the Internet Waves!

So we took our first shot at a gaming podcast. Yes, yes, yet another podcast about gaming! We know, not the most original idea floating around out there and we certainly aren’t going to come across as experts in the hobby, but we set out to have some fun in a freewheeling style and share some thoughts on a few games. It did take us about half the show to shake off the jitters (and I think it’s pretty obvious early on) but we’ll tighten things up as we put together more shows in the future. Plus you want to keep in mind we’re working on bringing some contributors to the table in the future. We’re really happy James is going to toss in his five cents from here on out on the show so he can help class the act up!

We have reviews of AEG’s The Adventurers and Road Kill Rally from Z-Man Games and a lot more!

Be sure to listen to the end because we have our first TGG contest. Rest assured it’ll be SO easy to enter and win! And the blooper at the show’s very end is sort of funny…
