In this episode, Banana, Adrian and Conor are in the mood to reminisce about a HUGE gaming weekend for Adrian’s 40th birthday. Adrian has fallen for The Gang, and by that he means not just the people at his birthday bash, but the game as well.  Meanwhile Conor has been battling head-to-head and having fun with one of his favourite TCG’s without breaking the bank, in Altered.  Banana surprisingly enjoyed a game that prides itself on getting pleasure from other people’s misery in Shadenfreude, and also got to have an unexpected try of a Kickstarter prototype!
