Finally!! I'd almost lost faith in the world and needed a gaming podcast to satisfy my soul. Other related podcasts were not cutting it and that's when I discovered Tired Old Hack! The smooth, healing tones of Chris Scullion helped me see the light and made me convert to Irn-Bruism. That and gaming indifferent quotes of his wife, Louise have cured me of many ills such as stubbing my toe and that itchy part of my back that I cant quite reach. Everyone should take in the teachings of Yer Man Scullion. Recommended!
