Episode 234 - Silent Protagonists

This is a topic about video games. There are also spoilers for the Fast & Furious series. As if there could be spoilers for that series.

Episode 233 - Returning to a Game

Mark and Chris sperg out about Arrested Development. And then we talk about bringing back an old game. What needs to change to reinvigorate you? Will your players care? Will anyone care? Is anybody listening?

Episode 232 - Myth & Religion

Let’s talk about myth and religions in games. Which ones are well represented? Which do interesting things with belief? Which ones are terrible? For some reason, this episode cuts off at the end. It is a mystery.

Episode 231 - Spoiler Club: Call of Cthulhu

It’s a short episode for a short movie, which we unilaterally hated. That might be a first.

Episode 230 - Fluff

We talk about our favorite fluff from RPGs, the worst fluff, and the dated fluff. And we’re missing Dale, so there’s relatively few arguments. Is that a good thing? There’s also a ten minute discussion of Iron Man 3, if you want to skip ahead a bit.

Episode 229 - Three Supplements

If you were going to a desert island with some roleplaying books (We’d suggest you bring food and shelter first, but whatever), what three supplements for that game should you also bring? We discuss our faves as well as what they offer.

Episode 228 - Spoiler Club: In the Mouth of Madness

This movie drove us mad - with how bad it is. We debate the finer instances of accents, tentacles, and bad pop fiction.

Episode 227 - Hey THACO, Whatcha’ Reading?

Books, that’s what. Bookie book book. We get all pretentious up in this one.

Episode 226 - When Dumb Things Are Dumb

We discuss lines of dialogue and scenes that utterly killed any investment we had in a property. Also, dumb song lyrics because those are dumb too.

Episode 225 - The Shelf Life of Games

When does a game overstay its welcome? When do you need an expansion to revitalize it? Who knows?
