So with Hamacon’s Minicon going on this past Saturday (Which went very well thank you for asking!), we did not have a chance to record an OSMcast proper. However, we didn’t want to leave you hanging and as it just so happens… Basil was on the latest episode of the Chainsaw Buffet talking about GMX, Tennessee’s Geek Media Expo. Listen in on talks of Peggle! Awesome shojo-esque Kickstarters! How Basil reads books! AND SO MUCH MORE!
