#38 The Teach
The Teach: noun, when Tom and Kenny yell at you while skipping all the important rules. They then proceed to beat you to a pulp with a hand tied behind their back while repeating "get good" over and over. I don't understand why everyone is always complaining about the way we teach games. Kids have it so easy these days. They just watch Tom Vasel advertise his Excedra pain medication and think they know how to play stuff. Shoot, I haven't made a Kung Pow reference yet. Um... ah... That's a lot of nuts? Is that good enough producers...

#37 Playing Through Your Shelf of Shame
Playing your unplayed games is fairly simple: Article I, code blue, section A, step / phase 1) determine if said game is still desirable. For determining desirability please reference Appendix 2, section D. For definition of desirability please reference glossary of terms in the D&D monster manual under “anthropomorphic animals”. For those who want the tips but can’t be bothered to listen: just play the games. Easy. It’s like the board game equivalent of “if you’re depressed, just be happy”. Works like a charm every time.

Imagine you were Flat Stanley and a scientist experimented on you by branding and perforating your body with Quacks pieces. Now imagine that it's seven years in the future. You've recovered from the horrific event known only as "the incident". You now have a spouse and two beautiful children. A representative from CMYK shows up at your door with a megenta-colored suit and matching sunglasses. They politely request that you get into the car. Inside is the very scientist that ruined your life. They say they have a great new direction. Things will be different this time. The doors...

#32 The Benefits of a Gamer Lifestyle
What if I told you there was a lifestyle that could make your heart healthier, your brain smarter, your looks smokin', and the world a better place? I mean, there probably is something like that (punch reading? sex charity?) That's about as far as we got with the hypothetical. We're talking board games as usual. But hey, those can be good for you too! This episode features considerably more positivity and coincidentally more games we played together. It wasn't intentional, but we'll take it.
