We're back from Visioncon!

Hey everyone, this past weekend we again traveled to Visioncon in Springfield. We had such a blast and we were fortunate enough to do a interview with headline guest Aaron Douglas. You know him as Chief Galen Tyrol from Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1, The Bridge, and tons of other stuff. He has an upcoming series on Netflix called Hemlock Grove and the video game Watch Dogs. This was a goofy and amazing show where we talk about beer, hockey, sci-fi cons, charities, and a bunch of other stuff. We're so thankful to Aaron for spending a ton of time talking with us. Hope you guys enjoy it.

CES 2013 update

A quick update for everyone. I know we promised daily updates but internet connectivity is hard to come by here at the con, so we're going to have everything posted after Mike gets back from Las Vegas. There's tons of cool stuff here so we'll have plenty to talk about!

A bunch of cool, new stuff is coming!

This week, Mike will be attending CES 2013 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Ryan couldn't make it, but we're going to have a bunch of photos and video of all the cool new stuff coming out in the near future. We may even get some interviews with people in the know! Mike will be posting daily updates from the convention and we'll have a new episode talking about all the stuff afterwards.

If you want to know more about something in particular at CES, shoot us an email or Facebook message and we'll try to find out about it for you. Stay tuned for updates.

Hey we have another episode, #32 in fact.

Well it's been a little while since we've posted anything new and this episode is kind of old. We're sorry. Ryan got a new job that's been keeping him busy and Mike has been stuck with finals. But the good news is that we have this episode with Bob to keep you busy and a bunch of new stuff coming up.
