My name is Manny and I like to play video games in my free time. I write a whole bunch on my blog, which is located at www.gametimewm.blogspot.com You have stumbled upon the place where I host my hot new Podcast, which is aptly named Game Time With Manny. Every two weeks my friend Matt and I get together to talk about the latest gaming news, and the games we've been playing. For the second half of the podcast we normally chat about a specific topic at length.
