Armbar Studios

Hello! It's been a long time. We at Armbar Studios have been biding our time and working on all new projects, chief of which is our new website. On said website, we will be posting our upcoming con appearances and links to all the projects we work on. Nothing is in the pipeline regarding our return to Matsuricon yet, but we hope to have news sooner rather than later.

That said, we are working on something big - our new movie-focused podcast! Each episode, we pick a movie based on an "arc", putting together the context of the movie's release, our personal experiences with the movie, and the history of the person, concept, or group the arc focuses on. Our first arc is on Chris Farley, and our latest episode covers the 1995 film Tommy Boy. We talk about his status as a Midwest legend, Mandy's personal history with the movie, and what an RPG based on the movie could look like.

HEY MATSURICON ATTENDEES

We're back! Another hour of wild and wonderful videogame wrestling featuring live commentary, exciting raffle prizes, and general mayhem!
