----- Wow did this take a while to upload. Show notes to follow. Bottom line is we played some games -- Space Hulk and the BSG Boardgame, saw Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, and realized that it's been one year since we met on a cold Remembrance day, rebooted iPhones by the Queen's Park cenotaph, and sketched out plans to initiate this podcast over at the Free Times Café. I'll get this all typed up, tooootally. |

Our first try at episode 5 was, unfortunately, not usable due to technical difficulties and strange mall acoustics. We've recorded another, non-horrible, episode 5 that'll be up soon! Thanks for your patience! Justin

We recorded this episode a week early, and consequently we remain on our two-week schedule even though we didn't get a chance to record one on our normal schedule. Next episode: "movies it's okay for geeks to cry at". Our Internet-famous friend Chris Bird (explosively-talented author and editor of mightygodking.com) came by to make us seem smarter and funnier. We planned to talk about Matt Fraction, but we diverged and had fun anyway, and nobody was hurt. WARNING: THIS ONE HAS SWEARING IN IT. (The parts about Michael Ignatieff and Greg Land, in particular.) 0:25 - Welcome Mighty God King! Also, Knitting Podcasts. (2 minutes) 3:00 - Board Game: Thurn and Taxis... and zombies? (5 minutes) 7:30 - The Smoothest Segue You'll Ever Hear into Comics, but actually The Toronto Garbage Strike. (4 minutes) 11:15 - What is a '70s hero? Is Iron Man one? (4 minutes) 14:55 - The Nineties: a Time of Ignorance. Spider-Man's Clone Saga. (4 minutes) 18:25 - We try again to talk about Matt Fraction's Iron Man, but then we talk about Greg Land, and Earth Expansion. (5 minutes) 23:10 - Iron Fist! And it's pronounced "Swer-Jin-Ski". (3 minutes) 26:00 - When is it Joe Quesada's fault? Also, how to come back from the dead. (3 minutes) 29:20 - Comic-con! Tron! Marvelman Rights! World War Red She-Hulks! and... Thunder Agents? (10 minutes) 39:00 - Multiverses! (1 minute) 40:10 - Oh dear lord it's forty minutes, Ilan attempts to point this out but we talk about Bone instead! (4 minutes) 44:00 - Pouches, and farewell (2 minutes) |

We're honestly not sure yet. Herein, we introduce ourselves. We discuss The War of 1812 (as rendered by Columbia Games). We "review" the RiffTrax for 1982's epic "TRON", and we talk a bit about The Bitter Guy's initiation into Star Wars Miniatures. The most important thing, is that nobody was hurt. |
