Watch Out for Fireballs! 31: Arcades
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grab the sticks and get to the bottom of why arcades are the best.
This episode is in the same vein as Episode 30. Recorded in person, both in-studio and in the field, Gary and Kole talk about arcade experiences in their entirety… from their smoky childhoods to their current-day selves exploring the arcade revival taking place in Portland, Oregon. Special thanks goes out to Ground Kontrol, the best goddamned arcade in Portland.
