Polyhedron Collider

Tuesday. We've made it into the work week proper. And I got my next subscription box from Heatonist, so I had a new hot sauce to try on my wings last night, and it was super-tasty. I realize that doesn't have anything really specific to do with gaming. I just like hot sauce.

Something that does have to do specifically with gaming is giving you some gaming podcasts to listen to while we all make our way to the weekend.

Today on the dial we have: Morrus Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk Episode 48: Exploring Saltmarsh Finale: The Styes; Meeples & Miniatures Episode 267: It’s all Greek to me, Part Omega; Geeks of the North Episode 73: Contrast-ing opinions; The Secret Cabal Episode 183: Space Gate Odyssey, Lords of Helas and a Short Topic Extravaganza; Chance of Gaming Episode 31; 40K Radio Episode 40: Adepticon Wrap Up; Anonymous Tabletop Episode 33: Accents and Apologies; The Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 62: UK Games Expo 2019 Preview; and Game Classy Episode 187: No, WE did it.

It's Tuesday, and as far as everyone in Atlanta is concerned, the world is coming to an end. They're predicting some snow, so, of course, everyone is loosing their stinkin' minds. Looking at the forecast, I'm not at all concerned with it. I'm more concerned with people here acting a fool because of what they think might happen, instead of what's actually happening. But anyway, we still have our podcasts to post up, whether you're at home having your bread-milk sandwiches or actually know what to do when driving out there.

This week on the dial we have: Game Classy 180: Return of Warmachine?!; Geeks of the North Episode 61: Hobbysode; The Polyhedron Collider Cast Episode 55: Between Two Dice Hospitals of Mad Detective Ludwig; Drive Thru FM Episode 22: Top 15 Anticipated Games for 2019; Chance of Gaming Episode 123; Anonymous Tabletop Episode 30: Lizards and Lookbacks; Epic Gaming Night Podcast Episode 187: What we want in a Kickstarter; Blue Peg, Pink Peg Bonus Episode: Designer Deep Dive- Comanauts with Jerry Hawthorne; and The Secret Cabal Express Episode 45: Movies and TV Shows We’re Excited About.

A cold and blustery Monday has turned into a colder and blusterier (sure, we'll say that's a word, why not?) Tuesday. Makes me glad I got all my extra blankets out over the weekend. Seems Nature went, "Thanksgiving's over. Winter now!" It's a good time to curl up next to the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa and listen to the radio... gaming podcasts on the radio, of course.

Saturday! Woo! My favorite day of the week. Today, I've got D&D (watch me here if you'd like to see me making a fool of myself :P ). And then, tomorrow, it's been a long time since I really did some baking. I'm thinking I'll make some cayenne pepper dark chocolate brownies and some chili powder chocolate chip cookies. Because that's the type of person I am. Whatever you're doing this weekend, I hope it's awesome. Though I know if you're here now, you're here to check out some reviews.

Tuesday...

It's... there. I mean, it's hard to hate it, as it's not really the start of the week. All of that loathing goes to Monday. But there's not much else going on with it. It's not the middle of the week, really. It's just... Tuesday. I know Arthur could never really get a handle on Thursdays, but I think Tuesdays are the ones I have the toughest time with. Better listen to some gaming podcasts.

Monday was everything Monday could really be. Busy, hectic, draining, took forever. I mean, I get why Garfield wasn't a fan. But we made it through.

The nice thing about having Mondays off is that you've got yourself a long weekend, and then when you get to the office, it's a short week to get back to the weekend. So, that's the best thing, to me. Anyway, as it is Tuesday, so let's get you some podcasts to listen to.
