Hey hey, Gamers, and welcome to Episode 83 of The Gamecasters! In today's episode we explore the latest Ryan-obsession in blank and write games!

We start off with a hilarious post-nerdfest story of woe, we shake things up in the Game We Play When We Don't Have A Game To Play where Ryan gives clues to Natalie to try and get 30 games guessed in 3 minutes, and as stated before we end the show with our Top 5 Blank and Write Games!
