Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 183 – On The Couch
Some fan mail gets the YAGS crew discussing their most memorable gaming generations as well as bringing up some painful memories from their childhood. If you’ve ever wanted to learn about why Mike is so angry, this is the show to check out. Hint: it’s got something to do with his naughty parts.
We also talk about Mass Effect and Final Fantasy 13, so non-RPG geeks may want to go make a sandwich.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 182 – They Don’t Have Read
Alternate title: No Mike Left Behind.
No Courtney this week, in clear violation of the terms of his parole. Next week we’ll be broadcasting from the Leo Laporte Minimum Security Netcasters Prison. Nevertheless, Mike lets down his gender, Ashley lets down 3-D lovers, and Evan lets down his hair. I think. It’s hard to tell, really, without some sort of aided viewing.
Cuz he’s bald.

The Well Fed Guide To Life Episode 103 – Always Be Prepared
Short version of this week’s show: We suck as Boy Scouts.
Despite the fact that normally Evan is normally an experienced and fully capable podcast host, occasionally mistakes are made. And while Peninsula has pretty outstanding Malaysian cuisine and is right in the heart of the one of the best eating districts in Minneapolis, finding batteries in a pinch can be a bit tricky. And to the surprise of all, Evan did not pansy out when the heat was on, much to the dismay of Glenn Frey.

The Flyover Ska Show Episode 3 – Bucket from The Toasters
Sometimes, the best stories and most interesting theories come from our elders. You know, people who have been there and done that; the battle-tested veterans in the ska realm. This week’s guest certainly falls into the revered elder-statesman category. Sit in as Robert “Bucket” Hingley chats with Courtney about the storied history of The Toasters, why ska music is best experienced live, and the importance of proper foot care.
This show is brought to you in part by MNSKA.com, Minnesota’s Ska Community. You can contact Courtney at FOSS@fancypantsgangsters.com or follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/mnska. For a track listing of this episode’s songs, be sure to check out the forums.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 181 – Better Living Through Achievements
It’s hard to argue that Achievements (and their weird little brother Trophies) have a remarkable affect on how people play games. I mean how do you explain the fact that anyone bought Avatar: The Burning Earth?
But what if someone tried to harness Achievements for good and not sorta-evil? One person is trying, and we talk about them. Aren’t we good citizens? We also talk about Steambirds and crazy geeky graphics talk related to Final Fantasy 13. Can you stand the citizenship?
