At last, the episode you’ve all been waiting for – Swag Tier finally brings you a full length feature about Final Fantasy Explorers.  Ok, it’s not really a “full length” feature unless you define full length as approximately 10 minutes, but that’s still one third of a 30 minute episode, which is a lot of air time for a game that is over one year old.  Other topics include:

  • the massive task of cleaning Megan’s closet;
  • the relationship between game difficulty and playability in various games;
  • and Frizbee’s first (and for her sake, hopefully last) encounter with the Easter Bunny.

We finished talked about a convention less than a month after it happened! That must be some kind of record for us. We had a lot of fun at PAX East, even if we had about divergent experiences. Tune in to learn about the barrage of panels that Steven went to, and which ones really stood out!

We’re back from an unintentional hiatus, and have finally finished with the craziness of PAX and Steven’s month-long journey through Europe (not to be confused with Megan’s Journey Through Europe). While Steven is already off exploring other conventions that we don’t get time to talk about this episode, we’re able to cover baby showers, Sushi Dice, Fax Machine / Telephone Pictionary / Telestrations, and Megan: the Charmin Charmer.

Megan is getting back into League of Legends, and she’s trying to convince Steven to as well!  This episode includes talk about esports and the pros, MMO’s, PAX, and possible sponsorships .  This may be one of the few episodes where Megan isn’t losing sponsorships, but she’s still making enemies with her candid opinions.

As promised last episode, Megan and Steven take their listeners on a mystical journey through the Keen.com website.  Listen in to hear about advisors, their reviews, and the guidelines for becoming an advisor and creating a listing.  Steven even gives a mini tutorial on how to apply your makeup so you’re picture perfect for your advisor photo.

And when you’re done listening, be sure to check out Dalya’s page, and sign up for Keen.com to get your free 3 minutes to call her or another advisor of your choice!  No, we are not being sponsored by Keen, but we would welcome that opportunity!  (At least until Megan loses it.)

  • Marooners, an awesome local co-op game inheriting the best of Mario Party’s frantic minigames
  • Nuclear Throne‘s clever spectator giveaway
  • Steven’s addiction to (and subsequent abandonment of) Shop Heroes
  • how Megan becomes unhappy when children become happy
  • Puzzle and Dragons‘ booth

Steven’s plans for PAX East are dangled in front of Megan like a juicy worm, and when she bites, I reel her in so hard that she decided after the episode to buy a ticket, schedule a flight, and book a hotel. So ignore what we say in the episode: she is here with me at PAX in Boston right now!
