This is only my one-person feedback and not a complaint, but in regard to Brad’s retirement list of games, I would personally love to hear his retrospectives on 7-30 year old games!

Brad needs to get in there. Sometimes the amount of dancing around a subject that he does is just frustrating. He is already 1/2 of a podcast team who is full steam ahead on Linux as a daily driver for gaming. He has years of experience on Linux admin and knows it pretty well. Dude, just dive right in, the water is warm!
