Mon, 25 August 2008 Warning! Danger, podcast listener, danger! At the end of September, we will be permanently moving to our own hosting @ www.headgamespodcast.com . For those of you on iTunes, we'll be shifting over in their internal servers, so you shouldn't be affected. If you listen to this podcast through some other way linked permanently to Libsyn, please switch over ASAP. We're trying to get you more content and the new site gives us that freedom. Anyways, on with the Shnotes:

Sun, 6 January 2008 Hey folks... Big, big mistake on my part. The mp3 of the Festivus episode included the raw audio from our recording, not the edited version. So, for academic curiosity, you can see what our pre-game conversations are like and keep the previous version. For the sake of people who would actually like to hear what we meant to put up (especially without the swearing) here's the real deal. Again, music included in this ep. is by Jonathan Coulton. The first song is "Podsafe Christmas" and the second is "Chiron Beta Prime." Comments[0] |

Fri, 15 June 2007 I know it's late. Episode 10 has been impossible to get edited correctly. We were hoping to get that going before this one, but we'll just get it up as soon as we can. We've got one more episode to upload before we go to Origins July 4th Weekend. Links for the LARPs we talk about in this episode: Legynds King's Gate Star Blade Comments[2] |

Thu, 16 November 2006 We originally cut this out of Episode 5 for length, but it contained so much relevant mirth it spilled out of the box and so we present it to you - a 5 minute discussion of Brian's trip to a Georgia Tech v Clemson University football game, the nature of Southern Fried Football, the thrill that is drinking unregulated corn liquor, and the Southern sports experience in general...with appropriate theme music to boot!

Thu, 16 November 2006 Finished right on the heels of the previous show, Episode 5 covers the realm of board/card game-based sports simulations, and sports-like games. We also talk about how fantasy league enthusiasts are RPGers in denial, a huge preview of this weekend's WOW TCG events @ GenCon SoCal, and how game geeks and sports geeks have more in common than you think! Comments[0] |
Thu, 16 November 2006 Eating too much Halloween candy makes you ill - and the sugar crash means the podcast came out a bit later than we'd hoped. Still, we think the games in this episode are great for any time of the year where scaring people (or making people squirmily uncomfortable) is appropriate. In this episode, an overview of gaming news, followed by some snap (and not-so-snap) judgements of World of Darkness products, Cthulhu-themed games, plus a few free games to download and print-out! (more to add when I can re-view the podcast.) Comments[0] |
