Gen Con 2017 Live Blog: Day One!
Join Ben, Justin, Dawn & Gianna as they head out to Indianapolis in the USA to cover Gen Con! Today is the first day and we’re all very excited to see what’s going on!
We are aware of the audio issues on some mobile devices.
The problem should be fixed going forward.
If you have a problem with audio on a video try watching it on a PC or a device like an iPad.
