WEEK IN SICK: Andrew's back after being ill and he has some stuff to share! This week, he talks about watching five seasons of the CBS reboot of Magnum, P.I. and how it not only connects with the original show, but how it connects to all of CBS' reboot shows (Hawaii Five-O, and Macgyver). D. Bethel, who was not sick, talks briefly about starting the throwback JRPG, Sea of Stars, by Sabotage Studio. (Thank you to Kyrun Silva for helping out at the beginning of the episode!) TOPICS:

Week in Geek: Andrew buys a bunch of indie games, but plays Thomas Was Alone while Dan reads Dagon by Ben Templesmith. The Merc With a Mouth as a Gamble by a Studio: Marvel mutant Deadpool hits cinema this week and Dan and Andrew discuss the implications of this faithful arrival into the superhero movie discourse. Whose [sic] Tim Cosing? Greater Than Games promotes their Kickstarter for the final expansion for the popular card game, Sentinels of the Multiverse, with a well-planned, quickly foiled, very intricate ARG focused around a fictional game tester "Tim Cosing." Andrew and Dan unravel the sleuthing fans of the game did to figure out the mystery.

I'LL MAKE AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT OUT OF YOU: The live action version of the '90s animated classic, Mulan, was released to Disney+ subscribers (for the cost of an extra $29.99) and, with it, came a lot of controversy––from Chinese reviewers not being too keen on it to human rights issues, D. Bethel and Andrew run through the discourse of this interesting, troubled film.
ANOTHER DUNE: The first trailer for Dennis Villaneuve's new adaptation of the Frank Herbert sci-fi philosophical classic, Dune. Andrew and D. Bethel muse on the potential this new film has (and how people will still likely be disappointed by it). Here is the new trailer. And here's an example––from Jodorowsky's Dune––of some of the pure artist intent Jodorowsky had in his approach to movie-making (with his Dune being the center of it). RELEVANT LINKS:

MISTER, I'LL MAKE AN EPIC OUT OF YOU: Andrew and D. Bethel briefly touch upon the interesting and promising live-action adaptation of the animated Disney classic, Mulan, even though this seems to be making considerable changes from the animated source material (seemingly to be more in-line with the folkloric source material). Here's the Twitter thread that Andrew mentioned, starting here with this tweet by Jenn Ravenna. OBLIVIOUS OBSIDIAN: After Chris Avellone's controversial interview where he makes argument about political content in video games, a former coworker of his at Obsidian––Leonard Boyarski––steps into the trap when discussing the politics of the upcoming Obsidian RPG, Outer Worlds, in an interview with PC Gamer. Andrew and Dan try to parse the differences with Avellone's comments and why this is such an issue (still).
REMAKE REDUX: Andrew briefly discusses his short but pleasant time with the recently released Resident Evil 2 remake.

| 21 Nov 2014 | Episode 26 - The Effect of Randomosity | 01:07:05 | |
Things seems lightly off in this alternate/parallel reality-themed episode. However, the show must go on, evil goatee or not. Week in Geek: Andrew peruses the lesser Star Wars movies for trivia and finds some newly poignant scenes while Dan plays Shovel Knight on his WiiU and Terra Battle on his phone. Original the Series: Taking another look into the original Star Trek series, this week Dan and Andrew watch the classic episode, "Mirror, Mirror," to great effect. Goatees and gold sashes! Discussion: Having watched "Mirror, Mirror," the idea of parallel or alternate realities, as they're presented in various fictions, seemed to be the right avenue for discussion this week, and they certainly go all over the place. Breaking News: With this week's announcement of popular American tabletop game designers, Fantasy Flight Games, merging with major European tabletop distributor, Amogee, Dan asks the podcast's resident tabletop guru what this means for tabletop fans.

Week in Geek: Andrew addresses the Steam Sale as well as a horrible Dragonlance animated film. Dan shares his continuing Rogue Legacy woes. Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Prequel: A big gaming announcement at this week's E3 conference was that Square-Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII remake. Fans around the world collectively melted. What about the remake do Dan and Andrew expect and look forward to? The Cost of Gaming: From DLC to Freemium pay-walls to retail prices, the cost of gaming is a variable notion today. Andrew and Dan examine this idea from a variety of angles to try and figure out why it's so open to interpretation and exploitation. Shenmue III: Another big announcement at E3 this year was the Kickstarter campaign for Shenmue III, the long suffering Sega franchise that could have possibly sunk the Dreamcast. The announcement broke Kickstarter, broke records for funding, and revealed possibly shady backroom dealings that make this a much more complicated topic than it seems.

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew builds a new gaming PC while Dan plays Batman: The Telltale Series - "Episode 1: Realm of Shadows." SPOILERS REDUX AND DMCA C&D: Dan and Andrew's discussion was initiated by a post over at the AV Club that covered an instance where major television network, AMC, issued a cease and desist order to a Walking Dead fan site, The Spoiling Dead Fans, when they started listing potential spoilers to the next season's premier. It's a broad topic that is hard to talk about (and, at times, infuriating), but they do their best to really take this topic apart as it relates to television shows and the networks' loyalty to their paying advertisers.

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew spent his week diving deeper into the Lego muck and mire, watching a bit of the Lego Ninjago animated series in order to get some more context to the more esoteric Lego Dimensions levels he has encountered.. Dan didn't stray to far, playing Resident Evil 7: Beginning Hour, the proof-of-concept demo for Capcom's sequel Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (or Biohazard 7: Resident Evil in Japan). MAKING UP WORDS: In the first look at mobile gaming this week, Dan and Andrew talk about a game that seems to be made just for them, Square Enix and A-Lim's Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and how it scratches certain itches while causing others. POKE MONGO: Pokémon Go is just about the biggest thing in the world right now, topping the charts of the iTunes free apps and is, purportedly, even bigger than porn with Google searches. It's a veritable point-counterpoint discussion as Andrew relates his experience playing the game while Dan remains in ignorance while discussing the world-wide phenomenon that is Nintendo's latest genius move.

WEEK IN GEEK: Andrew plays Project Highrise after receiving it as part of this month's Humble Bundle subscription service, while Dan reads a book about the history of the Japanese game industry in Chris Kohler's Power-Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life. THINK INSIDE THE BOX: With Andrew's sojourn into the world of subscription grab-bag services, he and Dan discuss the growing phenomenon and where they think the trajectory may end up. ACCELERATED EVOLUTION: When a YouTube star gets the spotlight from a major industry publication, his world starts to crumble a little bit despite his denial of it. Swedish YouTube sensation, PewDiePie, encountered some issues after an exposé by the Wall Street Journal causes him to lose valuable contracts and allies and seemingly sends him into a strange spiral of denial and self-pity––without losing any subscribers. Andrew and Dan look at this very strange situation and how it connects to the larger cultural issues the news media and celebrity are dealing with while trying to figure out a solution.

Week in Geek: Andrew spends some time in Portland, Oregon and hangs out at one of its popular gamer bars, Ground Control. Dan reads Marvel's 2014 mini-series, Deadpool vs. X-Force and really enjoys some clever meta-retcon that happens. Narrative Bifurcation: Dan and Andrew discuss some of the possibilities brought on by Nintendo's very interesting release of Fire Emblem Fate, which is actually two full-priced releases, Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Even then, the ostensible ending is only available via paid-DLC (titled Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation). It's a dangerous tactic, but can be used for good as well.

Even in the face of a near disastrous behind the scenes technical glitch, it turns out that Andrew and Dan can't be stopped. Again, they bring you another outstanding episode that covers a straight-up plethora of topics, including: Boasts of Bethel: This week, Dan ruminates on how animated films are marginalized by modern American society and wonders what we can do to move it forward. Discussion: Nintendo guru, Shigeru Miyamoto, makes a startlingly bold claim that video games are in a state of "creative immaturity." Andrew and Dan discuss what this means and what it may take to get out of it. Who Cares: Going back to the well, they discuss not an episode or story but a villain! This time they venture into the mind of Davros, the creator of the Daleks. Geek Thoughts: After going over last week's very debated question, this week they ask: What is a game/movie/tv show/comic/book/album/etc. that you feel helped move its medium forward? Why and how?

SECRET INVASION...OF A.I.: Marvel seems to have hamstrung the release of its new Disney+ series, Secret Invasion, when viewers quickly noticed the apparent artlessness of the show's opening credits and that they seemed to have used A.I. engines to create it instead of, you know, any of the artists it employs.
STIFLED PRODIGY: Paramount+ has been on a Star Trek kick for the last few years, but all might not be as rosy at it seems. Not only has it cancelled the all-ages-aimed animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy, it has also removed all the episodes from their proprietary streaming service––even though season 2 is wrapping production.

BETTER DREAD THAN DEAD: D. Bethel shares some initial thoughts on the newest 2D Metroid game, Metroid 5 aka Metroid Dread.
EMULATE YOU WANT IT, THAT'S THE WAY YOU NEED IT: Kotaku got in a bit of heat when they reported a story about how people were able to get Metroid Dread up and running on emulators in a smooth 60 frames per second at 4K resolution. The problem is that, in the original story, readers felt that Kotaku was, in fact, recommending people pirate Dread instead of buying it because of the emulator's stronger performance. This lead to another round of discussion about emulation, piracy, and game preservation. Andrew and D. Bethel do their best to weigh in on these issues.

THE LAST FIRST: Fallout 76 continues to accidentally grab headlines or, at least, grabs headlines it doesn't want. After a year of toiling in player complaints, bugs, and marketing schemes gone awry, the game seemed to have found a balance for those still enjoying the experience. Then Bethesda announced (and released) "Fallout First", a premium subscription for players that would get them a whole host of goodies. In true Fallout 76 fashion, it didn't take long for this to fall apart in big, bad ways.

With the first day of StocktonCon completed, Kyrun and D. Bethel begin the second day by getting in the car and driving down the 99 to Stockton. It's early, they're tired, they're going wherever the conversation takes them. While this morning conversation doesn't touch on conventions or marketing strategies, they dive deep into a major aspect of comics culture: continuity. It's at the heart of a lot of stories and in the hearts of a lot of fans, often to the point of taking despicable actions when a creative team makes changes that they don't like. They examine their own thoughts about the importance of continuity as well as why, it seems, so many people hold continuity with the highest possible value. Also, for some reason, the conversation dives deep into D. Bethel's own biases when it comes to mainstream comics and how––and if––he overcame those biases. LINKS:

Week in Geek: Andrew finally plays a WiiU with the Nintendo title, Super Mario 3D World, while Dan discusses his time at this year's Crocker-Con at the Crocker Art Museum. Group Gaming: Before the internet connected people worldwide, the solitary world of video gaming was often perforated by moments of playing a single game with a group of people. Dan and Andrew discuss this nostalgic (and still present) method of playing games with people in the room rather than online. Game & Watch: With the rise of televised (or streamed) eSports and the success of things like Twitch Plays or Let's Plays, gaming is more connected than ever. However, with the addition of a passive gaming experience does bring up interesting questions and ideas to what gaming is and how it's changing.

Evil Hat proudly declared that it was bucking tropes of other Lovecraft-inspired games––mainly how it addresses Lovecraft's prejudices head-on and it doesn't include sanity meters for its players––and that, for some reason, made a lot of people upset.

Discussion: As if it's a big surprise, with Series 8 of Doctor Who––the first featuring Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor––having come to an end, they discuss not only the final episode (SPOILER ALERT), but Series 8 as a whole and its place in the oeuvre of Doctor Who.

Week in Geek: Andrew nearly swims between the polar ends of Final Fantasy by watching Final Fantasy X HD Remaster and playing for himself Final Fantasy for iOS.

| 07 Nov 2014 | Episode 24 - Ghostbusting and the City | 01:03:40 | |
It's the first post-October episode. Instead of focusing on a month of thanks, it's just business as usual. Week in Geek: Andrew plays some more Civilization: Beyond Earth and also finally gets his mitts on a copy of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS. Dan, on the other hand, talks about the new album from his newest favorite band, Dawnbringer, called Night of the Hammer. \m/ 30 Years of Busting Ghosts: As children of the '80s, Dan and Andrew decide that this is as good a time as any to discuss why Ghostbusters is still so amazing. Ladies Second?: Speaking of Ghostbusters, with the recent announcement of a likely all-female reboot of Ghostbusters––as well as the troubled all-female Expendables spinoff, The Expendabelles––Andrew and Dan discuss this very interesting version of the reboot––recasting nerdy franchises with a completely female cast. They discuss the pros and cons and the possibilities as well as any pitfalls that could come with such decisions. The Master and The Mistress: As Series 8 of Doctor Who draws to a close, Dan and Andrew discuss one of the Doctor's most famous and notorious adversaries––The Master! Consider this discussion a primer for all things Master, just in case you need it. Question of the Geek: Who is your favorite villain, in any medium?

Welcome to EPISODE 50! This week it's all about nostalgia with a dash of navel-gazing. Week in Geek: Andrew finally watches a Hayao Miyazaki film, Castle in the Sky, while Dan geeks out over Mad Max: Fury Road. #WheresNatasha: Revisiting an earlier topic, a recent e-mail leak revealed studio heads discussing why a female-led superhero movie won't work based on terrible (in every sense of the word) evidence. Dan and Andrew discuss the implications of this information. Doctor Who Nostalgia: In the interest of nostalgia, Andrew and Dan discuss how Doctor Who has appreciated itself (that sounded better in my head) over the years, specifically with its anniversary specials. Plus, Dan and Andrew come up with a great idea for the next one. Final Fantasy V: If this is an episode about nostalgia, you had better believe Andrew and Dan are going to talk about Final Fantasy. This time they cover the final 16-bit game (which they haven't yet covered), the fifth one. Question of the Geek: What piece of nerd culture are you most nostalgic for?

FARTHER FROM HOME: The news this week was kind of bad for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans as Sony and Disney apparently stepped away from the deal that brought them together in the first place. What this means (as it currently stands) is that future Spider-Man films can't interact with the MCU or Avengers-based films. Andrew and D. Bethel talk about what's going on here and what are the ups and downs of this news story.

LAST OF THE TIME LORDS: At the end of August 2019, the world lost a writer who is probably the most important figure to the BBC hit, Doctor Who, in Terrance Dicks. A prominent writer for the show in the late sixties through the eighties, he also served as the script editor (what we would call now a showrunner) for six years (1969-1974), supervising the transitioning in of the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and revitalizing the show's popularity as it transitioned from black and white into color.
In addition introducing things like the Time Lords and Gallifrey into the continuity, he's probably most well-known for writing a voluminous amount of the show's novelizations. In light of his death, Andrew and D. Bethel spend some time talking up one the most important figures in a show they both hold so very dear.
ANDY AND THE PAX WEST OF 2019: Last weekend held the four-day gaming extravaganza called PAX West, which Andrew attended (as well as an associated indie-focused show called Seattle Indie Expo). He goes over the experience of attending the show yet again and how his attitudes about the show have changed over time. GAMES ANDREW MENTIONED:

Then he laments the divide between science and creativity.

POLYGONS IN AN AQUARIUM: After years of doubt, SquareEnix released a trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake that included some actual gameplay footage, which got Andrew and D. Bethel thinking about why a remake for Final Fantasy VII is necessary and why––it seems––the best way to keep PS1/Sega Saturn games viable in a modern market is to do full remakes rather than just porting them to modern machines.
Speaking of which, here's the trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake.
