Thanks for sharing! A holdover from other social media is to not share links so the algorithm doesn't tank my post... I should add it to my profile at least, shouldn't I!

Oh, dear listeners... It has been too long! As a special treat, I decided to advance a later episode so you can all meet our first ever guest!

Introducing Will Tate! A long-time friend of ours who is lovely and has a whole heck of a lot to say about Minecraft!

We played Kane and Lynch 2 🤩✨

Story Players @storyplayers.bsky.social · Feb 20

The story boys are back with our continued gameplay of Kane and Lynch 2 - this time in crisp clear HD!

Perfect timing too because this is that popular bit in the game where our favorite crime duo run around naked in the rain all covered in blood!

This week Zach asks how can we possibly find our audience as creators, then Buddy brings a bit of a variety segment to the discussion by looking back at the gaming trends the pair saw the birth of.
