193: Best in Slot Jokes
Comedy is an endless playground of creativity and innovation, but some jokes are so good that nothing could ever be better in its niche. We call these "Best in Slot" jokes and most of them are from 30 Rock, The Simpsons, and Venture Bros. Listen to us talk about them!

192: Remy Siu Goes Guesto Mode
Remy Siu, creative director of the excellent narrative game 1000xResist, goes guesto mode! We discuss how he & the game's writing staff put together a frankly staggering work that you WILL buy and play, how MMOs were more fun when they made zero concessions to the player, how to use lore for good instead of evil, why only geniuses appreciate Vinland Saga's farm arc, and generally jaw about art and process in a way that you will love.

191: The Sickos Read Cog Tales
The Sickos remembered that we have a form we shared a long time ago where people can submit horror stories from their workplaces, and we finally read some of them! Then, we discuss if Joe should get a Vespa so he can fit in with all the Italian guys.
Submit your own cog tales here, perhaps we'll remember to read them one day: https://forms.gle/aBFBueBAGQr4xtcx6 -
190: The Sickos Shoot Da Breeze
We've had too many high-concept episodes lately that require lots of thought and prep, so we just turned the mic on and had an hour of organic jawing. Just two buds hanging out folks. I think I heard somewhere that people like this sort of thing. Well, I sure hope it's true.

189: The Sickos Complain About AI
This AI shit sucks so bad folks. We expand on what we found so distasteful about generative AI art and how much it would suck ass to see it expand into mainstream media. The joy of great art comes in contemplating the choices that went into it and what those choices represent. AI makes no choices and sucks ass. Listening to this episode is equivalent to a 4-year degree
