Welcome to Pixels and Polygons, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is a conversational podcast hosted by Darren Hupke. It features a rotating cast of guests each week and captures a conversation on a set gaming topic. Each episode starts with an introduction of the guest and an icebreaker; then, we answer a single gaming question. Short and sweet! It’s the perfect “podcast-between-podcasts!” This week’s topic is…Do you have a favorite “Collector's Edition” or deluxe edition of a game? Do you collect other memorabilia from your favorite games?My guest this week is:Mike Drucker! The Emmy-nominated TV writer and comedian, and author of the new book, "Good Game, No Rematch," joins the show!
