Seen here are MAtt and Dan, the Game Grump Bros. There are many tales to tell of gaming life in North Jersey and New York City. The games for Christmas, the rise and fall of the arcade, the baffled but supportive parents, the hint books and Nintendo Powers and trips to WaldenSoftware (before they became Electronics Boutique, ElBlo, EB-X, EB, and then finally Gamestapo). Listen for topical discussions, in-depth analyses, and podcast buffoonery. And we're still working on the sound quality, so, yeah.
