Presenting: The Comedy Button!

Fans of the GameSpy Debriefings, rejoice: Scott Bromley, Brian Altano, Anthony Gallegos, and myself (along with new castmate Max Scoville, of Destructoid fame) are starting a new podcast in the near future, titled The Comedy Button. Because he says it better than I can, you really should go read Scott’s pitch for the show on our Kickstarter page, where we’ve already exceeded our funding goal in less than two hours. Basically, it’s the Debriefings, but independent — and we’ve got a lot of sweet incentives for those of you who are keen on donating. And when we get the show off the ground, you’ll be hearing about it right here on the Geekbox!

So, what are you waiting for!? Head on over to Kickstarter, see what the show is about, and help us push the Comedy Button. BRAAAP BRAAAAPP!!!
