Our new special edition podcast, MGU After the Credits, will be available whenever the opportunity presents itself. After the Credits is just as the name suggests; a discussion about a particular game after the credits roll. We’ll put these together whenever we have the opportunity that a few of us of MGU have beaten the game and are just discussing the various aspects of the game. Often times these won’t be as formal as our normal show. They will be filled with spoilers, rants, and whatever comes out of our mouths as we discuss the game at hand and should make for an interesting listen.

This first one is a conversation that Ben and Derick had a few weeks back about Dragon Age Origins. It’s taken from our pre-podcast discussions that we tend to have as we’re gearing up for each weekly show. Its completely edit free and there are some moments when Ben is walking around instead of talking directly into his microphone, but he’s still audible so enjoy.

“Ben’s Surly Episode” comes to you full of Ben finding all sorts of gaming groups to try and alienate. Of course, he only speaks somewhat truthfully (what he believes to be the truth anyways). We cover lots of the new gaming news out of the Activision-Blizzard camp along with some other tidbits of gaming-ness.
