It’s a misnomer to call us a gaming podcast. We know that no one listens to us for gaming news, they listen because we’re entertaining and have great chemistry. Case in point: we’re in the middle of E3, but talk about it for only a minute at the start and end of the episode. We’d rather talk about:

  • Megan buying KCON NY tickets while sitting at a red light;
  • Yungoos looking like Donald Trump;
  • playing Final Fantasy Explorers > KCON sponsorship > Ticketmaster sponsorship > Donald Trump sponsorship;
  • how Megan is so easily convinced to keep her cable subscription;
  • the awkward decline of E3

We continue on with our PAX East 2016 stories, but focus on Megan screaming just about everywhere: Overwatch, League of Legends, Stage Presence, etc. Seriously, this is Megan’s highlight reel. Listen in to find out how she uses public toilets, and what this photo is about:
