Hello! Last week Quinns gave a 40 minute talk at UK video game festival GameCity, designed to teach people about what’s happening in board games and why gamers the world over MUST get involved.

We recorded it, and you should check it out! It’s got all the evidence of why board game sales are rocketing up, three deadly arguments for you to borrow about why video gamers need to be playing board games, and even some jokes.

Watch! Enjoy. And definitely share.

Sipping coffee, peering out from the windows of our White House (which is to say, a house containing two white people), we review 1960: The Making of the President. A fierce piece of design, a psychological wrestling match. And… predictably, the boys can’t agree on it.

GET IT TOGETHER, BOYS.

My response to the criticisms that Google+ is a “ghost town.” What do you think? Are you willing to give the channel another look?

AdAge recently slammed Google+ as a “ghost town,” and the numbers clearly aren’t pretty. According to ComScore, Google+ users are only spending three minutes on the channel.

Compare that with the 405 minutes a month people are spending on Facebook, and you may think AdAge…

What ARE wizards? What do they do? What do they want?

No, seriously, we don’t know. In this featherweight episode of SU&SD, we explore that exact question. There are spills, chills, and yet more spills, board gaming being board gaming. You’d better get the cloth. YOU GET:
