Ep. 47 – Anarchy Rules, With Special Guest Jason Anarchy!

Published June 29, 2020

He’s back!

After over 2 years, the long awaited return of Canadian superstar game designer Jason Anarchy is finally here! Jason was one of our favourite guests during the early days of the show, so we were so excited that he was able to join us to talk about his new game up on Kickstarter called Your Friend is Sad.

Jason walks us through this crazy, (and strangely fitting in our current time) new game about cheering up a sad friend, and how it came to be. Plus we discuss how his career has had to adapt due to the pandemic, and how he relaxes when he’s got a little down time. We also introduce a new segment called the Speed Round that you don’t want to miss!  So listen in once more as we continue to fill your ears with our Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!

Ep. 46 – Furious At The Fast

Published June 22, 2020

Welcome back!

Well we knew this day would finally come. Adam has watched all of The Fast And The Furious and is ready to let loose! Will Matt be able to keep calm? Is this the end of the dynamic duo? No it’s not, but we certainly did have an interesting chat about the much maligned action series, and you don’t want to miss it!

Plus we give our picks on what we’ve been doing to keep sane during this never-ending pandemic, including some film and game recommendations. Adam tells us what he’s learned so far in League of Legends and how things have been going on that front. All this and we talk about the recently released Snyder Cut teaser trailer, the upcoming DC FanDome and PAX Online conventions, Tenet coming to theatres and much more! So listen in once more as we continue to fill your ears with our Xennial point of view on The Happy Xen Podcast!

Joining Adam and Matt on this episode is a returning special guest to talk gaming in quarantine. We sit down virtually with the Manager of the Durham College Esports Arena, Sarah Wagg!

We also discuss how gaming has been a great coping mechanism for anxiety and stress during isolation for so many.
