Todays guest is Ross Taylor, aka TheXboxVision. I first came across Ross's digital face nearly 20 years ago on a gaming forum run by an ex Amiga Power staffer, and back when I had a current console we used to get beaten by 8 year olds at Halo. I know him as a gaming guru, Amiga fan and as someone who worked at Game. But where did it all begin for him?

Homebrew Game ClubEpisode 0: IntroductionsMeet your podcasters! The gang discusses what they mean by “homebrew games” and why they’re different from “hacks” before outlining plans for the podcast. Bart examines what he looks for in a game, Conor reminisces on video games in 1990s Ireland, and Nick reveals behind-the-scenes tales from a family-operated video rental chain. The conversation turns oddly philosophical before wrapping up with a reveal of the first Game Club pick. It's all downhill from here, folks.
