Downtime, April 2010: Idealcon
Downtime:  What would you have at your ideal gaming convention?  That's not what this episode is about.  It's about what Shane, Liam, Cillian and humbeg would like at their ideal gaming convention, or more correctly conventions, because of course opinions vary dramatically.  Convention organisers take note!  But not too much note.  Apologies for Cillian's faintness, he was actually in the recording room but slouching very far from his microphone like a big slobby gamer.  Features:
