Having had to cancel recording earlier in the week, Elliot and Ben got together on a Friday evening with Martin "Martyboy" Walters with the plan to discuss our favourite champions and our experiences with Star Wars gaming.
However, beer and Jagermeister were in flow and things get somewhat derailed, especially later on. If you're the sort of person who normally switches off for the End Phase you might want to stick around for this one as we wander back onto Godtear in our inability to remain focused. Also, listen out for some outtakes at the end.
