    Mike's Hard Game Cast LIVE!

    For the first time EVER - after a combined total of over 160+ episodes, Mike's Hard Game Cast got together IRL to record (with one mic - and one Mike) around a table in North Carolina. Featuring a few special FF guest appearances & a live studio audience! Apologies for the audio quality - as mentioned this was recorded with one Blue Yeti in 360 mode, sat around a dining room table. I'm sure the Editor did everything he can to make it intelligible, but it is what it is!
