Searching for Grog

by Adam Pasion

Probing unsolved mysteries (tangentially related to video games) that nobody else dares (or cares) to investigate. We try to answer questions like who the voiced Colossus epic roar in Konami's X-Men arcade game, why Wikipedia credits completely unrelated people as the creators of the Power Glove and more. Join us on an epic goose chase involving interviews with game designers, voice actors and other guests who are way too important for the stupid questions we ask them.
