Al, I'm guessing you still have your Planet of the Apes dolls and know where they are. You can tell Josh enjoys these interviews, but you're like a kid talking about these games. I think you enjoy them more than the rest of us (maybe combined).

About a dozen profound statements in this episode, and your focus on the play instead of the game is very refreshing. You really are delivering a different product than everyone else.

Only one left in stock, $19.16. I bought it, now there's only two left in stock.

Ha! Well I did have my G.I. Joe's and a bunch of other stuff, but I lost all my old toys in our now famous fire from a few years ago. It's OK though because now we have a beautiful game room where our attic used to be.

And yes, Josh and I both sometimes enjoy playing like children and there are certainly certain games that bring that out. Lazer Ryderz in one of them. It is not without faults, but it is FUN TO PLAY. I'm curious to see what you make of it.

And thanks so much for your continued enthusiasm and support. It really does mean a lot to us. I feel like your insights into what we are doing has helped us better define and understand our own goals for this podcast.

Just FYI for anyone looking out for this, it’s on closeout here in the UK for less than £10 in some places so could likely be shipped stateside for around $20.

I don’t know what it is with Greater Than Games that so much of their product ends up in the bargain bin. I think they use KS so heavily to fund their business that they’ve already hit their target audience leaving little on the table for retailers unless the game blows up like Sentinels or Spirit Island.

Generally when I hear about a game I can slot it to a particular friend that I think will enjoy it, and often I reach out to that person directly before buying. Seal Team Flix went to my buddy Chris (I actually gifted it to him as a thank-you for hosting us each week) because he's a physical game kind of guy. For Lazar Ryderz I looked to my buddy Sippi Steve, 'cause he's really a gaming omnivore and is much more likely to let it fly with a game like this. He doesn't judge before playing, so a game like this which will scare off "serious" gamers just by its box will not be a problem for Sippi. If the two of us get this thing rolling he'll start making some noise and we'll get other people interested.

It Came From the Turntabletop

"Mama mia! Who's-a leavin all these-a bear traps?!"

I lost it.

Random thought while relistening to this: I want a Megaforce game... complete with a 7" of the 707 song.
