Good day to you all dear listeners! Jared's internet was down (for once it was scheduled maintenance we found out about). There wasn't enough time to record, but we did do a choosening. We have games picked out for the next several months of gameclub. There is at least 1 big surprise on the list that we can't wait to see how you guys will respond too.
Enjoy a Story Time, and we'll be back next week for the April Gameclub.

This week, Rage and I Both had reasons that prevented us from meeting to record. Power outages, massive scary storms with tornado watches, and lingering internet issues (for me at least) mean that we dip once again into the always persistent archive of silliness. We hope you enjoy!
