Ahoy m80!
Brad and Tyler welcome new listeners from PAX and wish a happy birthday to America's original Voyager.   Be sure to check out a free demo of "From Light" at the link below. Going to PAX and seeing the happiness and of everyone around me brings me a lot of joy. There are plenty of times where we find our selves having to make polarizing decisions regarding our beliefs, and trying to find an escape from that feeling can seem impossible.  Whether it be video games, board games, anime, manga or any of the other niches there is a home for everyone at PAX and I'm happy we all have somewhere to go.  Cheers!
