I totally forgot to post this when it came out... but enjoy! Our panel recording:

Slowly but surely, the videos from MAGFest 2020 are being released on their YouTube page. There's plenty of concerts already up, and our panel video should be among the next set of videos released, so keep an eye out for that.

The only thing cooler than board games is playing board games.

Back in Season One, I promised a 100K run of Marble Madness.
Figured it was about time to edit and upload it!

Panel confirmed:

FMV: From Movies to Videogames

Friday, 8:30pm, MAGES 2

Welcome, and have a great time here.

We are confirmed! Waiting for official panel announcements. Likely there all four days, but no idea when things are happening yet.

Well, somebody's got to get the party started in this part of the forum!

WGS produces IONGAMING, our catch-all show for let's plays, reviews, challenges, and lecture panels related to games.
When we're not producing episodes for the channel, we're headed to conventions to give talks on any number of game-related topics.

Stop by anytime to see what we're playing, and thanks for supporting the channel!

Agreed , but I hate feeling like I have to play around half the table

Same vibe. I have a natural aversion to tables with notorious drains, partly because they tend to chase away more casual players that I might want to share the table with.

That... was not a very exciting trade deadline.

I used to have my office on the main campus, but they moved us out to Sci-tech over the summer

Ahh. I remember taking a lot of my IT courses there back in 2007-ish. For a while, nothing could top the Frisco Wrap the cafeteria there made

The Internet is for cats.

Here's our own Zeldacat, original gato from the historic video gaming district of Clifton, VA.
She is a good and noble tortie with built-in sunbeam detection and cricket hunting skills.

She even recorded a speedrun for our channel!

I can't wait for that Week 16 Bengals/Dolphins game for the #1 overall draft pick. The Bengals are tough enough to watch as is, but between last season and this one I wish the NFL would reinstate the blackout rule just so I could see a decent game during the Bengals time slot without having to go somewhere with the NFL Direct Ticket package.

The ultimate Tank Bowl.

Do you stay engaged in every game even in a season like this?

Washington fans are stunningly diehard. Snyder has been doing everything he can for 20 years to turn them into a laughingstock, and yet, they still draw big media attention in DC. I think the fact that nobody else has done well had helped, but the Ovechkin Era and the Cup win did start to change the narrative here. The Mystics are WNBA champs now too, and if the Nationals come back, it will just continue to chip away at this football-first dynamic DC has had as long as I've been alive.

I'll be there! I have been giving lecture panels for a few years now. We are planning one now, and I'll probably sit on another one or two, depending on where I can be most useful contributing. 

MAG is one of those expos you really need to attend at least once to appreciate. Really lucky to live so close to it.

Have you played the new Black Knight yet?   The LE is pretty fun.

I have! Very well done. Lots of fun, but just slightly more complicated than I am looking for in a table.

My dream home arcade has Banzai Run, Black Knight 2000, Taxi, and Total Nuclear Annihilation. 

The eyes are an inspired choice.

Nifty - thanks for the feature. I'll dial up a reasonably minimal image--sig later.

All in if it's in the cards.

Feels like an overpayment, but the Patriots are built to win now, not in 5 years when Touchdown Tom is (...theoretically?) retired and Darth Hoodie is ready to return to Coruscant and resume plotting the destruction of the Rebel Alliance.

My hometown is the historic video gaming district of Clifton, VA.
We're currently residing in not-too-distant suburbs of northwestern Montgomery County, MD.

I'm sure a lot of work has already been done, and there's probably a lot yet to do - so thank you for going through all the effort to make this happen.
