On today's episode of GameFellas, we have our first interview! Special guest Benjy Boxer, Co-Founder of Parsec Game Streaming, was gracious enough to give us an hour of his time. Justin and Mark took the helm to ask him some wide ranging questions about his company and his thoughts on gaming in general.

Have you ever wished you could play a couch co-op game with your friend who lives a thousand miles away? Well with Parsec, you can! Benjy and his team are creating a service like no other that currently exists. It enables gamers to play games online that otherwise are without online support. Their eventual goal is to have Parsec exist seamlessly in any game with multiplayer functionality. A lofty, but impressive goal. We hope you enjoy our first interview as much as we did!
