Everyone's fucking everybody and everything's good in the world. Hello, hello and welcome to the Midlife Gamer podcast. Today is Sunday, the 24th of July 2011.

We are here, Matthew and Darren, that is me, to talk to you about games and all the other random shit that we like to talk about.

It's a jam-packed, fun-filled afternoon of recording, voices for the pleasure of your ears.
