Double Shift Podcast
by Mikey and Danelle
The Show where seasoned Video Game Industry Vets talk about NOTHING but Video Games. Well...sometimes they talk about food. BUT, they bring it back to Video Games. OK sometimes they get sidetracked on other topics. And they randomly quote things. And sometimes sing. Oh yeah and swear...there's a lot of swearing. Mostly though...this is a show about Video Games. Join us as we relive Video Game History, recall stories from our QA Glory Days (Sorry, no juicy industry secrets here...mostly stories about farts) and ask important questions about Game Design such as "Why?" and "Hwwwhat?". Grab yourself a frosty cold beverage and brace yourself. It's time to survive the dreaded DOUBLE SHIFT!
