Shamus Young is a software engineer, writer, and friend of LoadingReadyRun. You may know him from his blog Twenty-Sided, from his webcomic Stolen Pixels, or from his numerous columns and articles over on The Escapist. You may also know him from his gaming commentary webseries Spoiler Warning, (the title of which I contend he shamelessly stole from one of the ill-fated pilots LRR recorded but never actually released.)

Shamus will be calling in at 4:00PM Pacific time, so make sure to tune in!
