So, I'm doing a business podcast for work and I thought, "why not devote some time to a gaming one, too?"
So tomorrow morning, I'll be posting up the first episode of The Great Game Guide, featuring theme music I wrote and your weekly dose of me talking about obscure games!
I just couldn't resist.

Humble Choice isn't too bad this month. Most of these games are at least good.
I don't know about Hunt: Showdown 1896, though. Given that there's a separate $16 bundle for the DLC, it seems pretty low value to add it in Choice.
But given that it's far more expensive on Steam, I guess it's a deal.

Our Santa Games have begun!
My kids are already done with the first round, finding hidden keys to open treasure chests. And among their treasures, they found UV lights and code cipher wheels as well as clues to where the second round will begin!
But before round 2, time for Xmas brunch!
