    PannenKoek2012 & Gamescom 2014!

    PannenKoek2012 & Gamescom 2014!

    He's the man who found the unkillable Goomba, and collected the uncollectable coin in Super Mario 64. Splashed across the front page of Yahoo, Kotaky and more, he's the irrepressible PannenKoek2012, the single greates font of wisdom for all things Super Mario 64. It's a fascinating discussion. (Also pinch hitting for DutchMogul is DigiPen's favorite son, Doug Zwick.)

So fun!

These guys have great rapport. I'm not a gamer, but I still love their wit and unique perspectives. For me, this podcast is totally playable. :-)

Dutch Mogul ,

Go for Rainbow is the best podcast in the known worlds

Of all of the podcasts I've listened to, this one is my favorite, and I've listened to, like, five or six podcasts.

ZackLewisSeattle ,

A revealing cross section of a unique friendship

Two interesting guys discussing video games, spirituality and their feelings. Definitely worth subscribing on iTunes.
