Button Mashers Beget Button Mashers

(Editor’s Note: Apologies again for our silence this week. I’ve been dealing with end of semester stuff. Hopefully I can maintain the schedule of posting twice over the next two weeks. If not, I’ll definitely be back when finals are over.) My family took me to a local arcade (yes, they still exist!) for my […]

Dudes Playing Magic

(Editor’s Note: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, as they say.) I have expressed my admiration for the Star City Games stream on the page more than once. Some of the play leaves a bit to be desired and can be painful to watch, especially in the early rounds. To be honest, all around

Mini Marvel Masters

(Editor’s Note: ‘Hulk Smash puny….wait, what this? ‘Hulk puny!) Our other major topic of this weekend’s episode of the podcast was Heroclix. ‘Bear in mind that Chris hasn’t played a game and I’ve only (basically solo) played against a very young Aiden. ‘The segment is more about our reasons that the game interests us and

We Are Builders of (Lego) Worlds

(Editor’s Note: This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but it was VSL night and I crashed after that. Sorry.) We recorded Episode 5 of the podcast this past weekend. I’m in the process of editing it and it should be live by next weekend. Hopefully, because it is a busy one with a Cub

I Wanna Be Your (Spider)Man

(Editor’s ‘Note: ‘Do you have a module based on the comic where Peter Parker and Mary Jane get married?) Once upon a time, a gamer was a gamer. ‘You played video, board, card, roleplaying, and sometimes miniature games. ‘You bonded with other gamers over your mutual status as outsiders from polite society. ‘Really, we were

Unlimited Marvel?

(Editor ‘s Note: TLDR, Shut up Marvel and take more of my money!) We are not just about games here at 2 Guys Gaming. I used to be a comic book collector. Wait. That isn ‘t the right verb tense. I still have boxes of comics in my closet. My name is Shawn and I

Revisiting 2 “Marvel”ous Games

(Editor’s Note: I know that I promised a video for Fallout 1 and 2 and haven’t delivered. Marvel Puzzle Quest is running a video contest, though, so I am planning a video for that game soon.) We are recording episode 5 this weekend. The show is about Heroclix and Lego video games. We are going

Do You Want to Build Some Standard?

(Editor’s Note: Chris asked this question a couple of weeks ago. Before you ask, yes he sang it just like the girl from Frozen. He has a beautiful singing voice.) I was never interested in the various formats of Magic or what they meant until about a month ago. One of my favorite Magic streamers
