Hello Friends,
It seems as though the gods of Skype and Travel were not on our side this week as all technology failed to make up for scheduling conflicts. As such, the show will be delayed until this Sunday.
Apologies!

Hi Gang!
The site is currently being moved from one server to another, so on behalf of The Arcade, I apologize in advance for any weirdness or show outages that may occur over the next couple of days.

Friends, we start this new year off on the right and musical foot with a show dedicated entirely to the music of MAGFest! For the unaware, MAGFest is a four-day video game convention that puts together a huge lineup of video game cover bands, chiptune artists, DJs, and a whole lot more. As we’ll be attending this years event, we figured we’d share with you some of what we’ll be hearing while down there.
What was played:
Dennis’ Nickname: The Man Who Sneers at the Mayans and All Other Doomsday Conspiracy Theorists, as He Survived the Quote-unquote “Apocalypse”, if Narrowly.

T’is the season when we forgo our usual format in favour of taking a sleigh ride through the snowy fields of odd, obscure, and some downright bizarre Christmas music. If this show doesn’t fill you with the spirit of the season, then expect to receive coal in your stocking!
