OUTSIDE GAMING III w/ Fredo

Welcome to Pixels and Polygons, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is a conversational podcast hosted by Darren Hupke. It features a rotating cast of guests each week and captures a conversation on a set gaming topic. Each episode starts with an introduction of the guest and an icebreaker; then, we answer a single gaming question. Short and sweet! It’s the perfect “podcast-between-podcasts!” This week’s topic is… Do you interact with games outside of playing them? What other ways do you stay involved with this hobby (reading, writing, talking, drawing, etc.)? My guest this week is: Fredo Fabrucci: The Poster's Poster™!
