Failcast Episode 12 Beta: Conrad Says Stuff About Larping
FAILCAST \| 4:11 PM on 06.26.2008	14 comments

After last week's disastrous delay, you would guess that we would make a special effort to get this week's episode out on time. And you'd be right! Here it is!

This week's guest of fail is board game guru Conrad Zimmerman. Listeners get the special deal of hearing him not only on this week's preview episode, but also on next week's full episode! (Don't say we never did anything for you.) Hear Conrad talk with Charlie and Necros about how board gamers are actually pretty cool guys, unlike certain other fandoms. Also, there is a discussion about cake. Delicious, tasty cake. Aw yeah.

Don't forget that Failcast is now featuring community audio segments in the full episodes, so make sure to send us submissions to Failcast@gmail.com by this Tuesday night. If you're curious, next week's show will have a more "retro" theme, for better or worse, so use that as a jumping-off point for your submissions if you want to.

Music Credits:
OP: The Presidents of the United States - Kick Out the Jams
Vagrant Story OST
ED: The Presidents of the United States - Fuck California

All the cool kids download.

I'd like to reiterate and stress something:

No Bez, we make that post the day of the recording... usually right before because Necros slacks off and forgets

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
