No negative feedback was received so I will be pushing some of my recorded TTRPG sessions to the feed while Rage and I try to figure out how to actually do a podcast as 2 full time employed working boys with no shared schedule.
Greetings! There is a stinger in the front of this to explain, but to put it on the cover, this is a recording of a TTRPG campaign I run. There was a death in my family of a close family member and I have needed time away both to grieve and to deal with the effects of a funeral. I hope you all have a happy holiday season, and we'll have more recordings to come.

All by myself again! It's Jared to give you an update and some ideas about what is going on around these parts.
When it rains it pours it seems. This week Jared was sick and had to rest. Have another gameclub update/re-release!
Jared was released from finishing his notice period this week and had to do a little scrambling and have a small existential crisis. He's fine, and we'll be back next week. Enjoy another classic gameclub episode!
Good day folks! We finally recorded our gameclub for Civ 6 as well as discussed a number of other things in a freestyle franken type recording, but rest assured this is fresh content. We hope you enjoy!
Greetings! We have another classic episode update to put on the feed this week. If all goes well, Rage's work schedule is changing and will allow us a more guaranteed recording slot to utilize within in the next week or so.
We have another one of these update/clean ups of a classic episode of ours to help account for the ongoing family disaster stealing Jared away from recording. We hope you have a good and safe weekend and we'll see you soon!
This week we recorded some franken style content telling Jared's clinic drama as he moves to start his own business. There's some other stuff here too, and we'll be getting to the game club in the next real episode!
Welcome back to another update/re-release of an old episode. This week Jared had some struggles that prevented a recording. We hope you enjoy, and in the next recording Jared will share the juicy details he can
This week Rage had very bad work scheduling and so we knew from the start we'd have a Franken Episode. We hope you enjoy this one and will see you again soon.
This week, the two of us recorded some "franken" style content for an episode because it was very late when we started. We don't want to do this all the time, but it helps us stay a little more current when work is very much in the way. We hope you enjoy!

We did in fact record this week, and it was an intentional Franken style episode. Things went a little awry and we got a very late start, but we did start! There is a smattering of topics such as a brief glimpse into what the franken episode might look like, some steam summer sale talk, and magical adventure to some anime horse girls. Yes. That is a real game and anime.
This week the episode goes up late. Jared had a very serious plague, and was more or less out of commission until this morning. Where he promptly forgot to do the franken edit until late in the afternoon. He will be severely punished in a way he isn't into, and will get back to you next week. Enjoy!

This week scheduling conflict got in the way again, but I recorded a little something about a several games I have been playing that won't make into the main show at some point. Enjoy! and we'll keep trying to schedule ourselves correctly to record a new show.
This week we needed to do another re-upload. Work schedules and tech issues prevented us from getting together with enough solid time to record an episode. We hope you enjoy this episode, chosen because May is Mental Health Awareness month, which is an update and re-upload of the gameclub episode covering A Normal Lost Phone, and Another Lost Phone.
This is a small snippet of franken episode from the last recording. We were unable to record this week due to a tornado tearing through Jared's location. He's fine, but the infrastructure was down for a few days of recovery. So we were unable to record or do a larger franken piece this week. We hope you enjoy none the less!

There once was a time when we questioned podcasts taking long hiatus periods or doing old re-releases on this show. How nieve we were! Life once again stands in the way. Rage's new job and work schedule combined with my own major career changes again makes it hard to record. We believe next week's schedule hold solid promise for recording, and we can finally get past Tex Murphy onto the next…
This week, Rage is busy with work, and Jared is busy at a marriage and family therapy conference getting to learn and talk all about sex!

So we have another blast from the past. We have put together…
Greetings all! We have a short little franken episode this week, as continued work and personal issues prevented us from recording. We have talked shop and adjusted/updated the gameclub list and have made plans for late but truncated VGL awards to discuss some gameclub games. We hope you all are having a good week, and hope to be back soon.

This week, Rage is busy with work, and Jared is busy repairing his roof after a massive storm blew part of it off. Looking at old Archives, there are a lot of old episodes that have never been viewed, as PodBean seems to have broken their RSS import Support. So an episode appears with no Audio. I've taken the time to find as many of these as I can, and will re-release them on weeks where we don't…
Jared is very sick this week, a lot of people in his orbit have had both the Flu and Covid. Hopefully it isn't that, but we aren't sure yet. Enjoy! We hope to see you next week.

Greetings friend. Jared had a fight with his two greatest Nemeses at the same time: His ISP and his dishwasher. Service outages and FTD errors prevented him from being able to record this week. So we've gone back into the archives, and pulled out another old Franken Episode. Hope you all have a lovely week!
On this episode of the VGL Podcast, we discuss why we've been gone so long, the state of the US in this moment, and some random video game things. There wasn't a format this time, but the goal as stated in the episode, is to do December/January Gameclub in our next recording, and the VGL Awards the one after that. We hope you enjoy!
Greetings friends! We needed to do so business to sort out the schedule for VGL Awards and making adjustments to the Gameclub Schedule. We hope you all have had a lovely day, and will be seeing you soon!
Good day to you my friends! Hopefully if you're in the path of this Winter Storm you've taken appropriate steps. Rage and I were unable to connect this week to record. I got back from Colorado too late Tuesday, and Rage has had his own work developments that meant he didn't have a night off. We hope to see you soon, and hope you enjoy this Episode from the Archive!
Happy New Year to our listeners this week! I went back into the archives to grab and older Franken Episode that I can't find a correlating file too on Podbean. Jared is in Colorado this week with his in-laws, so we didn't record anything. Next week should be a return to form, with either a normal episode or the Gameclub episode for December. After that the VGL Awards! We hope you all have a lovely…
Merry Christmas everyone! We did not record this week due to the Holiday falling on a Wednesday and it making our other schedules really weird. We hope you had a lovely Christmas. Next week will be Franken Episode as well, as I (Jared) will be in Colorado Visiting my in laws the whole week.
