Show Notes
Originally Broadcast 2022/02/15: Sean joins the Nerd & Tie crew on the new season of the Meatgrinder!
A hundred years ago the Wizard Gallfus failed in overthrowing the rule of the evil Necromancer Kallofrax. As he lost his powers, he prophesied that a chosen one would rise up on the eighth day of Balmond to defeat him. Gallfus was, frankly, lying. Losing his powers (but retaining his immortality), the wizard traveled the would, eventually telling dozens and dozens of kids that they were secretly the chosen one. Because again, he was lying; but if you toss enough "chosen ones" at a problem, maybe it will fix itself?The Meatgrinder uses the "Super Awesome Action Heroes" role playing system. Episodes release on the 15th of each month.

A friend of the show passed away last November. She made games that shaped our childhoods, and graciously offered her time for an interview and cameo for one of our videos reviewing her work on Out of This World.
It used to be true, and still is to some extent, that visiting a video game store in Japan is a rite of passage for foreign visitors to Japan, but if you pull out a camera to take a video you may find you are no longer welcome.

Sean sent Vinnk a blu-ray copy of The Last of Us for Christmas with the expectation he'd rather watch the show than play the game. However, our livestream audience had very strong opinions about the best order to experience this amazing story. Should Vinnk play the game even though it's a lot longer, and survival/horror isn't really his thing? Or does the HBO series which dives down deep into its characters and is quite a bit lighter on zombies and the shoot shoot bang bang a better path?
