Half of the Bagpiper team went to worlds! Whether it was the better or worse half we’ll leave to your judgement, but Seamus believes the answer is obvious.

In this first part of our coverage of the greatest week in gaming, Seamus, Even, Jonny and Stephen talk about their hopes, their dreams and their fears through the week of worlds up until the day of the main event.

We break our tradition of naming episodes after Netrunner cards forced through a mostly imagined prism of Scottish idioms in honour of this classic song and Alistair Cooke‘s excellent radio programme.

If you are desperate to hear our three-weeks old thoughts on a tournament that – at the time of recording – had not yet taken place, then this is the episode for you. It’s also our first ever episode partly recorded in an airport!
