Hardcore Casual

The Hardcore Casual Podcast is back from vacation with a hot and fresh episode for your listening pleasure. Each week we break down a game or crack open our gaming history books with a new topic. This week, coinciding with the release of Madden 19, we are taking a look at the Madden Curse, a hex that follows cover athletes and ruins their careers. We also dive head first into some news we missed last week.
