We’re back in the new year with the same old arguments! This includes a lengthy discussion where Dale declares his man-crush on Peter Jackson, Jim and Mark argue with him, and Chris is sick. Then we talk about peasants in games and why they’re so cruelly maligned.

Genres are talked about. Especially which genres we haven’t done anything with but want to. Along the way, we discuss other weighty matters of the day, like our confusion over hard sci-fi and Dale’s awesome Conan game idea.
