MHGG Ep 121 - Whippin Blu-Rays Redux
Joined by Wes, the DM for Mile High Dungeon Delvers, our hosts dive into this week's show. With not much happening in their personal lives, they get right to recently played games where Jeff flicked penguins around an extra large school in Ice Cool 2, Wes went on adventures in Action Castle, Adrian sent robots out in City of Gears, and Zach narrowly stayed aloft in Mansions of Madness 2nd Edition. After talking recent plays, the hosts crawl into the Lookback Machine to revisit some of their old reviews. News mainly features new games announced at PaxU like Metal Gear and Clank Legacy. Kickstarter focuses on a massive miniatures game in Tainted Grail and fancy Blood Bowl upgrades with Blizzone. As always the show is wrapped up with a variety of listener feedback.

MHGG List - Top 10 Replacement Games
There were a lot of ways this name game for this Top 10 could have gone, but we settled on this.
What are we talking about? We mean those games that once you play, you feel that it makes a previous game totally irrelevant. Tic Tac Toe gets replaced by Connect Four, etc. Whether its because the game gives the same feeling in a shorter time, is more immersive, cleaner, or just plain better.
