The first Vortex Podcast episode of 2015 is bringing it big time with stories of high school gym class, flesh blankets, ice cream, and Civilization V!

We are celebrating the Christmas season with a special Christmas edition of The Vortex Podcast! In this festive episode, we talk about Santa Claus, Christmas traditions, the history of Christmas, and some of our favorite gifts we got!

It's our Vortexween Special! In this extra long episode, we talk about the origins of Halloween, costumes, haunted houses, and Halloween myths! Also, Chris tells some scary stories, Grimm tells some Halloween jokes, and F13nd reviews seasonal beer!

On Part 2 of "A Generic Quest", the gang is thrown out of the tavern, but Bloda is able to remain behind and speak with a mysterious stranger. He sends them on a quest to find an ancient and powerful relic - King Hemhor's hammer, one he called "Edge"! Will the heroes be able to successfully locate this priceless artifact, or will they crit fail? Find out on this crazy-ass edition of Crit Happens!

Join Narvi Thunderloins, Idrael Moonfire, Brother Cormac, and Bloda Thickrod on their quest to...do something! Crit Happens is a special edition of the Vortex Podcast, a combination of Dungeons & Dragons and a drinking game.

In this episode, the gang talks about going cliff-diving, the upcoming DOOM reboot, and other random topics. Chris also quizzes Grimm and Fiend to see what their inner Dragon Ball Z characters are.

The podcast is back! For some reason, this episode is very food-centric. F13nd talks about his trip to Memphis, TN, where he encountered delicious BBQ and rap music. We discuss the finest fast food delicacies we have ever had, and the best way to eat McDonald's. We list the scariest places on earth, as well as discuss the coolest thing on earth: a bug with a female penis and male vagina (mangina, if you will)!

On a snowy winter's night, the Vortex crew have a lengthy discussion on many touchy subjects, such as the health benefits of licking doorknobs, a man who fears tacos, whether Goku or Superman would win in a fight, and the trauma associated with penis and testicular yoga. They also take the time to play a little "Would You Rather", a classic party game that only leads to confusion and shame.

In our launch episode of The Vortex Podcast, we discuss video game hardware woes, the new Steam Machines and Steam OS, dandruff shampoo conspiracies, internet gore, awkward conversation with strangers, Ghost's new butt plug box set, ridiculous WWE merchandise, tabletop RPGs, and the demonic toy of yore known as the Furby.
