Wizard World Chicago: Day One - The Con Is On!

It's The Wizards' World; We Just Live In It

This weekend the WVITC gang is headed to Chicago for the Wizard World Comic Con! In addition to an overwhelming number of comics, figures and other pieces of pop culture paraphernalia for sale, Wizard World also plays host to a wide collection of actors, creators and other celebrities from nearly every corner of the entertainment industry. We'll be taking notes on this field trip, so watch this space for our impressions of the show in the days to come!        

Episode Five - This Ain't No Game!

In this episode we team back up with Allan of Level Up Games to bring you a discussion about our favorite and not-so-favorite video game movies, plus we touch upon some of the difficulties inherent in bringing games to the big screen. Finally, we muse about what games we'd like to see get the Hollywood treatment.

Episode Four - Hip To (Not) Be Square

For this week's podcast, we liberated cities, befriended innumerable allies, and banished the forces of darkness from every land to shed some light on our favorite SNES RPGs not made by Square! When it comes to RPGs on the SNES, Square-developed games usually come to mind, and for good reason! However, there is a wealth of quality titles made by other companies that deserve a closer look, so we hope this episode will bring back fond memories for some and lead to the discovery of new favorites for others.
