Being a long time gamer of 21 years; I am still very new to the Indie, story, creator owned games scene. I wanted to learn more about them. When you find yourself in a situation like that, it's best to find a guide
to lead the way. So who could I get to be said guide? I know, why not Fred Hicks, this way he can be on yet another podcast :). I emailed Fred and he liked the idea, and here we are.

*Fred Hicks Spends My Money!*

We wanted to have Fred Hicks reach into my wallet, take everything I have, and give me some games. But that seemed too long, Thank God good taste prevailed.

The rules for the segment were this: I would set a budget ($100); Fred would then make a list of games; we would talk about the list; then I would buy said games; and the whole thing would be recorded for your listening pleasure. What games were on the list? Did we follow any of these rules? Only one way to find out. Give us a listen.
