Level 149 - A Podcast with Contrast

This week's panel - Big Ell, KooshMoose, rawkerdude, FuFuCuddilyPoof

Our monthly live episode is here! May's Star Wars themed contest is finally over. We played a LOT of games for Gamerscore. What did we play?

Ell played possibly the worst game he has ever played. Koosh played Shady Part of Me. It reminded Ell of a game but he's not sure which. Rawker played a game that he wished would just die already. FuFu celebrated a proud completion!

We talk about games coming....real soon, have terrible salegues, and beat dead horses.

Elroy, Exe & Chewie settle down once again to discuss their shameful abandonment issues.  Skipping through life's cutscenes, overcoming the improbable, rage rating and forgetting to remember are all laid bare. It's like therapy but with more rambling and funny accents.

Waka faces Warface and lives to tell the tell. Warface never changes, Waka never dies.

Ell and Corey played some one hour games and had some good times and some bad. Corey played a game about a Duck Tale. Not that one. The only way Ell was gonna get his room cleaned was by playing a cleaning simulator. Sort of. Even Kenny played a Rat! Will wonders never cease?

SaraH spins a tale about a game that makes Faery: Legends of Avalon look good. Moving on, Corey tells us how much he loves trying to race the game pass clock. Nate talks about what's popping on his phone.  Spoiler, it's achievements. 

ElroyOMJ and Vulgar introduce a new segment called One List, Two List, Bad List, Good List in which they first discuss the achievement list of Friday the 13th which is the scariest part of the game and then try to decide if the list for Gear Tactics looks like a b%*#h.  What?  Say what again.

This week's panel - Big Ell, FuFuCuddilyPoof, KooshMoose, rawkerdude5012

Ell plays games and wants to check all the lines of dialogue for typos. Corey speeds his way through a leaving-game-pass veiner faster than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
