It's the last PartyCast before the VGM Con break and a Beat Slayer interview to boot, so let's get some stuff done!
The show kicks off with Aki on hand to welcome Benjamin "Benni" Reichel of ByteRockers' Games to the show to chat all about the newly released Steam game Beat Slayer! We chat about the origins of the game, the story and characters you'll get to interact with, the awesome PR team at the studio, the soundtrack, and tons more. A rad conversation about a super cool rhythm action brawler!
After a quick break, it's PartyCast time with Pernell Vaughan, Chris Taylor, Brooke Poole, Bri Galgano, and Aki all on hand to chat about a few things. Not too much because there's a lot of games to talk about and I need to keep things moving along this episode. No lie, once the episode finishes recording I have about 3 hours to get the episode fully edited and released so I can sleep before my VGM Con train trip. Yay last minute crap! Plus reviews including an email from Horror Acolyte!

The SML Podcast - Episode 940: Rated B for Balatro
Download Episode 940 --
It's an old school PartyCast lineup on this episode, so let's get this party started!
The show kicks off the PartyCast crew of Pernell Vaughan, Chris Taylor, Brooke Poole, and a visiting Tim Ekkebus to all hang out and chat about things. What kinds of things, I hear you ask? And in this moment I cannot answer your questions. Why? Because my cat Psimon is laying on me, and I have a deadline, so I'm writing this now when I can. I could easily go back and change this later, but I'm lazy. There's stuff about MAGFest and ARMCANNON. Go listen. Plus reviews!

The SML Podcast - Episode 936: Nap of the Year
Download Episode 936 --
It's as low energy as we've got, so let's just start.
It's a PartyCast. Pernell Vaughan, Brooke Poole, Chris Taylor, and Andy Sperry are here. We talk about how we're all tired. Then I mention how I upgraded my Switch memory card. Then Chris talks about Switch sales and his band learning EarthBound music. Andy had a 2 year Streamiversary celebration, Pernell worked out a bunch, and Brooke is excited for new Elden Ring DLC. And we're all REALLY tired. Plus reviews.

The show ends with some EarthBound goodness from Christian Pacaud because Chris mentioned EarthBound in the episode. It's a natural reaction at this point. Yay.
