"Like No One Ever Was" (E. 88) - Moving Forward Welcome to Episode 88, Dead Drawers! This week is all about moving forward! We tried out a few new ideas as we recorded this week's podcast LIVE on our twitch channel! Not only did we try new things, we also dropped a few spoilers of what's to come for DDG as we forge a new path after a hugely succesful Madison Regionals. We are still coming at you with the Pokemon news, Weekly Top 5, and our revamped question sections, and we hope you continue to enjoy them alongside our latest developments. Dead Draw Gaming is always striving to be our very best, and we can't wait to show what's next! Thank you!

The 2018 Madison Regional Championship is a wrap! Join us this week as we talk with two of the stream production team, Aaron Luckenbach (AaronLive) and Justin Sommer (PapaBlastoise), about our collective weekend. We answer questions, dive into the stream drama, and then talk a little about the 28-hour twitch stream we held on Monday and Tuesday to raise funds for the Nick Bailey Open and DefeatGBM. This episode was recorded live on Twitch, so the quality is a little lower than usual, but the content is as good as ever! Thank you all so much for everything leading up to this point. We cannot wait to show you what we have in store for you coming up! Until next time, Dead Drawers!

Welcome to episode 79, Dead Drawers! This week, we start out with Pokemon news, including huge stuff from Pokemon Go! Then things get a bit more serious. Our main topics begin with an extended chat about why there seems to be a lull in competitive play. Is it just because of the lack of Regionals? are there too many events, leading to burnout? Then, our second main topic is all about self-reflection. Are we where we want to be right now? As a business, where do we think we should be, and how can we get there? This is definitely a more serious episode. We finish off with an incredibly in-depth Top 5, our Question of the Week, and a somewhat saltier BST. As always, thank you all for joining, and we hope you enjoy. See you next week for the big 8-0!
