HorsePLAY! EP221 - The Rise & Fall Of Farts'R'Us

HorsePLAY! LIVE - Where Geeks Come To Play

FARTS!! Toys'R'Us closing all stores unless they can raise enough capital to keep 200 stores afloat. KB Toys positioned to fill the void. Some say this is simply signs of our times, as everything is going digital but I say there's more to it. Obi joins in and derails me, while I go into a trip down memory lane and lament the loss of an American staple. Is this big news or just business as usual? Tell us what YOU think! Join the convo! http://geekyantics.net/discord [e-mail] SMS/VM 646-801-2149 (USA) We should play some games. What are you playing? Monster Hunter World, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Starwars Battlefront 2, CoD WW2, Van Helsing III, Cuphead, Fortnite Battle Royale, Destiny 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Heroes Of The Storm, Overwatch, Fortnite, Hearthstone, and the other usual picks are on rotation.. But got to give some extra love to Cuphead - this game NAILS the art style.. And it's SUPER fun!!! A must-play for folks who love challenging games, local co-op, and SMUPs! Oh, don't forget to get Stan Faryna's new book on Amazon - it's the best five bucks you'll ever spend outside of Steam! https://www.amazon.com/Francesco-Augustine-Bernadone-Tomorrows-Bucharest/dp/1521278504/ Chat with us 24/7! http://geekyantics.net/discord Want to pitch in?

Why? Because NES-themed electronic music is boss AF. Go buy the album - it's cheap and AWESOME! http://rushcoil.bandcamp.com INTRO: TeknoAxe "Jetlagged Dubstep" OUTRO: TeknoAxe "Robot Bunny Hop" GeekyAntics Foundry - Aggregate Feeds: http://geekyantics.net/foundry http://geekyantics.net/podcasts In case you missed it, here's how to be part of our community! #TheGANG SUBSCRIBE - http://bit.ly/GANGmail COMMENT - [e-mail] PODS - http://geekyantics.net/podcasts VIDS - http://youtube.com/geekyantics TIPS - http://bit.ly/gangtip FRIENDS - http://geekyantics.net/sponsors Want our gamer tags, latest activities, and more conversation?
