dunceCast Episode 22 – This Drink Drives Me to Work!

This week’s podcast should have been edited for your protection, but wasn’t. Therefore I will have to request that you never listen to it. In the event that you do choose to violate this request, you will hear about the top 10 hats for men, bad beers, awkward guilt and gratitude, as well as esoteric work details.

dunceCast Episode 21 – Western Civilization V

Bet you didn’t think we would be back again! Well, we are, and unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about it. Today we run a little bit (a lot) longer than we really intended to, but we talk about some of dem dere vidya gaems. Namely, we cover David’s exploits in finally trying Civilization V, The Long Dark, and talk (somewhat spoilerly) about SOMA.

So yes, SPOILER WARNING for SOMA, but we will also warn on the podcast when we are about to begin discussion of the game.

dunceCast Episode 19 – Going Off The Air

Dis weak on de duntscast. We talk about the big PS4 reveal, just like every other video game podcast on the Internet. We also do our typical whatcha been playin/watching/eatin segment, where we discuss Firefly and To The Moon. There is much arguing to be had in this episode.

SPECIAL NOTE: This may be the final dunceCast, as we are putting the podcast on hold for some personal reasons. We may be back sporadically or not at all. It’s been fun, nonexistent folks!
