Bored Games?

I want to extend a special thank-you to Drew Wicks for not only submitting a great idea for episode #104, Physical Movement in Videogames, but also for making the long and dangerous trek from northern Ontario to the studio via dog sled to appear on the show. It was nice to have you there, Drew!

We've also got to bid a fond farewell to ITC's third studio with this episode, as it will soon be (even more) filled with moving boxes and furniture as my wife and I prepare to move into our new house that we're buying this Friday. The studio will actually have a permanent home now, and you might even hear rumblings of other podcasts being recorded there in the not too distant future...

But on to the good stuff. Next time on ITC, we'll be somewhat revisiting a topic we discussed last year on April Fool's day, Board Games. Only this time we'll be talking about your favorite board games that have been converted from boards, cards and pieces into TVs, buttons and cartridges. Your homework questions are below, and you must get at least a D (that's passing, right?) in order to keep listening.

Thanks for listening everybody, we'll see you from our brand new studio in two weeks!
