“You can’t innovate without killing a few orphans.” –Dan Amrich

This week was truly our most fun episode yet!  Special guest Dan Amrich, Editor in Chief of the newly announced World of Warcraft The Magazine, joins us for our most revealing and sick show yet.  For anyone who wanted more information on the magazine, and the state of the gaming print industry, this is the show for you!  In addition, Dan really lends a memorable hand when it comes to our El Juego segment.   You’ll never think of Saw or orphans the same way.

I want to apologize in advance for the way my podcasting app butchered the audio at that point.  You’ll notice things don’t seem to be quite right…that isn’t my bad!  I had to go through the whole podcast and match audio to make it sound semi normal!  With that, I leave you…Crunch Time: Episode 31.

*PSA* —CRUNCH TIME WILL AIR LIVE THURSDAYS AT 8 EST, 5 PACIFIC—
