Whew!
The second half of our show we recorded live at TotalCon 2013, Eric and I have another tale of Horror, and talk about some more recently played games. We answer a few questions, but spend most of the show talking about the best games to play at conventions.
In the first of two episodes recorded live before an audience at TotalCon 2013, we talk with the hosts of Not Just Another Gaming Podcast, Cardboard Jungle, and the GameSalute Shows. We talk about some great games, including Police Precinct and Wild Fun West, hear Chief talk about Kickstarter and Giles about Kickstopper, get scared by Eric, and listen to Brian talk about The Omega Virus. We finish up the show with some questions from the audience!
In this episode, Tom takes a look at Fantastiqa and Batman: Gotham City. We answer quite a few questions, and then take a look back at 1998 - 15 years ago, and talk about the best games from that year!

We give the latest news, listen to a truly horrible tale, and talk about Swordfish, Suburbia, Legendary, and Mutant Meeples. We muse on the future of 2013 and gaming, and then talk about games that we are experts in. Maybe.
Well, it's 2013, so as usual, we take a look back five years ago and talk about the best games - now that we have half a decade to muse on the subject. We also talk about Lancaster, Man Bites Dog, and Power Grid: the First Sparks as well as other games.

The Pirates come on and spread some sort of nonsense, while Geoff talks about cheating some more. We do a three-way smackdown between Marvel Legendary, DC Deckbuilder, and Sentinels of the Multiverse - and end the show talking about what to do when there is a heated rules dispute.
And part two of our best and worst of 2012 show! In this episode, we talk about the best cooperative games, most innovative games, strangest games, best expansions, best reprints, biggest brain burners, favorite gaming events, and a host of other categories. We end the show with our top ten games of 2012 - and what we are looking forward to in 2013.
Tom, Eric, and host of others all join forces (like Voltron!) to give you the best of 2012. In this first half of the show, we give our thoughts on the 2012 as a whole, as well as the biggest news stories of the year. We talk about our biggest surprise, and our biggest disappointment. Everyone picks the game with the best components, the game with the best artwork, the worst game, the best card game, best party game, best kids game, and best family game. Lots of fun, and a Happy New Years to everyone!
In this show, we talk about Zombicide, 2019: the Arctic, and Dungeon Command. We also answer a pile of questions, including why we don't talk much about print and play games, Carcassonne expansions, a good baseball game, and superhero games. We end the show talking about our top ten "lucky" games - games that have luck as a major mechanic.
Here's an early Christmas Present for you - Game On! with Cody and John.
John says...
In this special episode of Game On! with Cody and John, we come out of retirement to record a special episode in support of the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund. The winner of our JVMF auction was Trent Hamm ("trenttsd" here on BGG), and he's our programming director and benevolent dictator for this episode. So, listen as we expound on Gen Con for newbies, discuss how to start an RPG group from scratch, and bring you a full review of FFG's Android:Netrunner. For this episode only, Trent rules!!

Geoff talks about cheating, Tom talks about how and when you should buy games for others for Christmas, and Brian examines Kremlin. Bart looks at some Kickstarter games, Matt does a game you can play Solo, and James about expanding the hobby. We end the episode with our best gaming finds we've ever found at a thrift store.
Whew! Another long episode in which we talk about recent games, such as Manhattan Project, Treehouse, Edo, Guidhall, and Courtier. We also answer quite a few user questions, where we talk about almost getting sued, why we keep expansion boxes, which side of Merchants of Venus is better, and what to do if you want to publish a game. Finally, we end the episode with our top ten "Games that Have Stood the Test of Time" - games that are just as relevant today as they were when they were published.
A mega episode, jammed full of all sorts of stuff! First, we talk about some recently played games, such as Copycat, Spellbound, Escape, and Robinson Crusoe. The Chief talks about Kickstarter, Brian about Looping Louie, the Snakes and Latte guys about trivia, Mark about Ravinca, Greg about another gaming stores, and the Pirate Cast guys about expansions. We have a tale of horror, a musings on GameSalute, some SUPER exciting news, and special report from BGG.con. Finally, we end the show with games that only we seem to dislike - everyone else loves them!
Yes, you read the number correctly. This is one of our "classic" episodes, redone and remastered for your listening pleasure, with commentary from Tom. In this show, Tom and Joe are joined by a host of guests who all give their opinions on what 2006 holds for gaming. Were they right, wrong? Listen to the show to find out. Tom and Joe also give their top ten board games from the 80's decade.
In our most interview-heavy show ever, we invite over thirty people to come on our show at a live broadcast from BGG.con! The catch? Each person has only two minutes to speak. From designers to publishers to convention hosts to gaming enthusiasts, it's a fun time of laughter, talk about games, and more!
In the first of what will become an annual event, we, along with our contributors, give a Holiday Gift Guide for games that you can get for 2012! We give advice for the best Children's Games, Family Games, Party Games, Stocking Stuffers, and Strategy Games. Give it a listen or forward it to your favorite uncle so he knows what to get you!
