Everything is Fine, Nothing is Ruined
Delivering to you the dulcet sounds of two best friends yakkin' about pop-culture!

In this very special episode, we reveal that this show goes up a week after we record it! Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is a cool movie! Wrestling is like Power Rangers, somehow! The World's End/The Cornetto Trilogy is a work of genius! BRITISH Genius!

What'cha' Doin'?:

Tristan - Tristan had a birthday, it was sweet and cool and you weren't invited! Tucker and Dale Vs Evil, Men Who Stare at Goats, Real Steel, and Bully needs another game!

Hassan - Powerpoint is dumb and fun! Power Rangers is pretty cool!

Andrew - Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (Pirate Power Rangers)! Wrestling is weird!

Kenny - Warmachine just came out with a new faction, and they have gun faces! Fuckin' A! Also, anime is still cool.

The World's End / The Cornetto Trilogy (00:54:57):

The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy is awesome and World's End deserves your love! Oddly enough, there's not a lot of blood in World's End... Whatever!


In this special episode Kenny is out and we roll with 3 guys for a change. We learn how charitable Andrew is, we discuss how awesome the Speed Racer movie is, and Andrew tells us about the Sonic and Mega Man comicbook crossover.

I've been told that this is the Hassancast... What's a Hassancast?

What'cha Doin'!?:

Andrew - Shopping woes, the Saints Row franchise, wrestling and Futurama!

Tristan - Aban Hawkins & the 1000 Spikes, Speed Racer, and Warmachine/Hordes!

Hassan - Gadgetry is weird and stuff!

Sonic and Mega Man Comicbook Crossover (00:43:42):

Archie comics do the comic books for Sonic and Mega Man and that means they can crossover! Huzzah!

This message will self destruct in five seconds.

On this very special episode, Andrew is... wait. That's not Andrew. Who the hell is that!? Is that... Is that Greg? OH SHIT NUTS! Everybody run!

Segment 1 - What'cha Doin'?:

Greg - Taken 2, Just Cause 2, and getting super salt with Salty Bet!

Hassan - Saints Row 4, Top Gear is an awesome show and Kenny is a boob. Boob.

Tristan - Xbox Live Indie Games, and Bakemonogatari vs Highschool of the Dead.

Kenny - Writing Pathfinder campaigns, and Greg's not allowed near RPGs.

Segment 2 - Bureaucratic Spy Fiction and Acquired Tastes (01:01:52):

- Bureaucratic Spy Fiction! The stuff about spies being boring, desk workers who work in the field on an occassional basis. We're not here to talk about Jason Bourne or James Bond, but lets look into Jack Ryan, Tara Chace, or Sterling Archer to a degree. Well, Archer himself isn't so much bureaucratic as his co-workers are, but you get the idea!

- I'm writing a novel... still. Yeah it's never getting done because I'm an ill-focused madman! A maaaadmaaaaan!

- Queen and Country is really good! Greg Rucka is kinda the man, dawg.

- Archer is a kick ass show about the comedic side of spies. It's very good!

- Doctor Who works as a spy! Unfortunately we're kinda fatigued by the show. Yeah. It's cool if you like it, but we need something different from the series.

- We dive into the subject of tastes that very acquired as opposed to tastes that are more based in bombastic fantasty. Every topic I come up with devolves into me talking about why a thing is good. And Dark Souls. It aaaaall comes back to Dark Souls.

- Homeland is fairly good! It's on Netflix, so check it out.

- Hard Ticket to Hawaii is... um. Something.

- Get Carter is super cool! Check out the Michael Caine version.

In this special episode, we talk about how weird our names are. Andy's moving away and we'll never see him again. No, really. He's moving to the other side of the country and we'll miss his sorry toucas. But it's all cool because we can still hang out and talk about Saints Row 4 and properties that fans sometimes treat better than the source.

Also... uh... we uh... lost some audio... WHOOPS!

Section 1:

Andrew - Saints Row 4

Andy - Moving to Vancouver, BC. Canada, yo. However: Sims 3 is still cool!

Hassan - McPixel! And calling back to episode 2's conversation about music.

Kenny's and Tristan's opinions were mysteriously lost. Was it the government trying to cover up the truths that they told? Was it dimensional hell beasts that erased their speech? Were these two hosts sucked into a vortex? Or was... oh wait we lost the audio and had to just recorded a new segment. Welp. There you go! Professional.

Kenny and Tristan - Boardwalking! In which we talk about board games and Dominion in particular. Which is a deck building board game! It's fun and you should try it!

Section 2 (00:51:51):

Content the Fans Treat Better Than The Source.

Tristan is shows how evil Capcom is with the treatment of their own properties, but is then promptly shot down by some Capcom apologists! (Or he said something dumb in which he never got to explain his words.)

Somehow this whole thing goes into a talk about fanfiction and other media that fans create. And we manage to avoid cosplay and fur piles.

Tristan likes to sound like he knows what he's talking about and is a total hipster jerk-face! Or, he likes high art and killing Shakespeare. Whatever.

We dive a bit into the world of videogame music remixes!
