About This Podcast
Three friends discuss adventure games and game development whilst being woefully unqualified to do so. Sometimes they have guests on who are invariably smarter than they are.
Hosted by:
Gareth Millward (he speaks very rarely)
Frederik Olsen (he speaks very slowly)
Troels Pleimert (he speaks too much)
