For submitting high scores...

This subepisode allowed us to take a break away from editing the main episode for next month. A lot of work goes in to the main episodes, so its nice to put together a quick video to explain and show more about this great hobby and the show. We really appreciate all of the support so far, and can't believe that we have over 100 subscribers too! Amazing. Thank you so much. We also take a look at the future home of the arcade (basement) and the game room. Music and media used with permission....
