It's like horse racing but the horses are waifus. What's a waifu? Well that's kind of hard to explain. Have you heard of a gatcha? No? NorthernLion? Oh... well I don't know if this is going to work out. Thanks for the interview, I wish you the best of luck in finding a candidate.

Lesser Tom is joined by the Tomb Rewster of Shut Up & Sit Down fame this week to talk board games (shock) and video/podcast creation. Listen in on some Type III fun as we get into the nitty gritty of Cuppy Flicky 2. Wait- where is the typical deranged show note synopsis? Not this week buddy. I had a relaxing weekend and wrote this baby up while there was still daylight to spare. Better luck next time you bog-guzzling creep.

Tom may have had some weird takes, but he was a good person. Today we honor his memory as he would have wanted us to: by participating in the unholy ritual he bestowed upon the listenership on that fateful June morning. Please join me in assembling our 7000+ Millennium Falcons and inserting our XXXL Bad Dragons in honor of all that is TOY...

Just a hypothetical. Tom and Kenny can neither confirm nor deny that there is an impending robot invasion. Prepare you bodies with meat-grinder-proof materials and essences. Drop the Gloomhavens; too heavy. MREs only for the rest of time. Hope you like veggie lasagna and instant coffee type II.

I can't wait for the sick and twisted fan that is going to mash up all the games we talk about on this episode into one big megagame. It takes 72 hours to play and if you die in the game, you die in real life. Bring it on, we were born for this. I'll get my duel disc and we can hit the playground after school. 0-2 players, nose snakes included.

Step into the world of fandom. As a child I witnessed the death of my parents at the hands of Twilight Imperium, but avenged them by playing hundreds of games of Netrunner. Now, as an adult, I only wager fair uses of my power by battling in unnecessarily elaborate forum posts. Every time my opponent goes off topic, I reset the thread on them. This is justice. This is... the true fan's world.
