Another year, another MoCon... but this time we are coming to you from the hotel room! (Fair warning, there are audio issues). Eric and Zack are joined by listeners Cody and Matt as we recap the weekend's exploits across St. Louis including yet another horrifying hotel room, a toddler beauty pageant, new Lord of the Rings heroes, Mega Man tinder swiping, and a very couth, yet revolting mattress. Oh... and buying games. LOTS of games.
