80-Bit Podsmash

A special bonus episode of Termite's Buzz all about The Game Awards. Termite took a legendary trip across the country to celebrate TBone's 40th Birthday. I discuss the trip, our experience, the people we met, and review The Game Award show itself. I end the show with my favorite announcement and moments in the show!

Termite's Buzz! A weekly solo show running through what games and/or trophies Termite is pursuing, followed up by some gaming industry news and finishing with a retro video game discussion.
