About Fireside Game Chats

Welcome to Fireside Game Chats! I am your host, Nick. Yes, that is me. I am Nick. Each new episode (posted biweekly on Mondays) is a dive back into video games of old and not-so-old. Join me as I attempt to recollect my memories of all of the hundreds of video games I have played and the people along the way. These are my digital memoirs to which I hope you can also relate to in some way. Jump into any episode for the game you find the most appealing. Grab a drink, put your fancy robe on, and snuggle up by the fire.
