Episode 44! Zach Pulliam hangs around as we talk the news and reviews for that week!

Zach Pulliam is a real swell guy who decided to follow his dreams and open Abari Game Bar, a bar/arcade hybrid, in Charlotte. His passion for gaming pushed him to take out a huge loan, work himself to the brink of insanity, and field questions about his bar opening on a daily basis. When Zach is not tirelessly trying to please the geeks of Charlotte, he enjoys popping wheelies on trick bikes, playing with his cat Mouser, and giving high fives.
