Gamers-Lounge-logo-LGGamers Lounge Ep 131 – Organizing and Preparing

Episode 131 is here with the traditional Lounge Talk. Bill and Josh gab on about what they’ve been playing lately and generally catch up from the last couple weeks.

Segment one jumps in with a chat about Organizers. We discuss the use of board game organizers, some companies to get those organizers from, and how they compare with Mini-wargaming organizers.

Then, surprising for such a short episode, we have a second segment. Josh and Bill dig into some ideas around how Bill should prep for the Guild Ball world championship. Some of the advice is complete tripe, while others are not too bad at all.

Episode 125 arrives with some last minute recording to pad out the show. We open with the traditional Lounge Talk where Spencer and Bill cover the happenings over the past couple weeks. Bill runs a question past Spencer that then gets covered again in it’s own segment later in the show.

Segment 2 is a Gamers Lounge on the road segment. Dixon and Bill are returning from a Guild Ball tournament and spend a solid amount of time discussing how the event went. Please excuse the road noise but enjoy the GPS!

A short Twitter questions follows. Have no fear, even with only a short time to respond Dr. Loxley comes through with a Loxley Speed Round.

The final segment of the show is another short Mobile recording between Dixon and Bill. I’ll call this the “Play Down” discussion, as we talk about how odd-numbered tournament pairings should work.

Gamers-Lounge-logo-LGGamers Lounge Ep 121 – We’re talking Guild Ball Tactics

In Episode 121 Spencer and Bill dive into Guild Ball Tactics as the discussion. Bill returns from a weekend playing at the Bourbon Trail Open Guild Ball tournament and the boys kick things off with a lengthy lounge talk. Bill touches on the tournament, Spencer touches on his painting progress for Adepticon, and they both get caught up on the recent goings on. Also a great story about Mat Hart of Guild Ball fame.

Following the Lounge Talk the boys dive into a Guild Ball tactics discussion. As with everything on the Gamers Lounge, the topic wanders a bit and ends up revolving around sportsmanship, tournament etiquette, and general good play habits.

The show closes up with the now regular Twitter questions and Loxleys Speed round. Then the boys do the outro and out!

Episode 120 has arrived and we’re joined by Mario, famous for Mats by Mars. Spencer, Bill, and Mario start out with a quick introduction then an overview of recent games played.

Our primary segment this episode is a discussion of Adepticon. We cover a host of topics such as travel to Adepticon and what our schedules look like. We dip a bit into why we each go to conventions and how those reasons have changed over the years. Spencer reveals a big change for his Adepticon 2016, and then gushes over a little bit of a fanboi moment.

After a nice and friendly Adepticon chat Spencer urges Bill to have a bit of a rant on the Guild Ball changes to Gutter. It wanders a bit, it’s not overly coherent, but it’s a rant.

Twitter questions brings up the end of the show, rolling directly into the outro.
