Join Andrew, Aubrey, Caleb, Joe, and Dylan one last time as they reflect on the past 100 episodes of LPF and discuss some of their favorites. 

The whole crew is here for the final time before episode 100! This episode is all about our favorite games of all time. We talk about all sorts of awesome games! 

Episode 100 will be the last episode of Level Playing Field, at least for now. After giving it a lot of thought we have decided to take a hiatus from the show and focus on other things going on in our lives right now. That doesn't mean that the show can never come back, but right now it is ending for the foreseeable future. I’m sure I can speak for everyone here at Level Playing Field when I say thank you to anyone who has listened, commented, retweeted, liked, reviewed, and especially supported us on Patreon. It means so much to know that this little passion project has reached so many people around the world. Video games are cool and we’re going to continue enjoying them off mic and off-camera. Thanks again for any and all support.
