BGB Podcast #164 – Get Uncomfortable

I believe it was Kelly Clarkson who once said, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”. So wise, Kelly.

It’s getting a bit too comfortable around here. Time to put stones in our shoes, tighten our belts, and get out of our comfort zones. We talk about the times that we’ve found ourselves in unfamiliar or uncomfortable gaming situations, and what we learned about ourselves in the process. Before we unfluff our pillows, we talk about Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation, Reavers of Midgard, and Paleo.
