    Concerts and Fantasy Races

    We are pretty lame when it comes to leaving the house and concerts aren't any exception. Also, we are pretty tired of fantasy race tropes. They've got some deep issues and deserve to be revisited.

    Fighting Games and Black Mirror's First Season

    TopicsFavorite and Least Favorite Fighting Games?Nathaniel’s fav: Tekken 7; least fav: Marvel vs CapcomIsaac’s fav: Guilty Gear; least fav: InjusticeCarter’s fav: King of Fighters ‘98; least fav: Street Fighter Seth’s fav: Soul Calibur 3; least fav: Super Smash Bros MeleeWhat are your favorites? Which ones have you always hated?Black Mirror: We discuss the episodes in Season 1“National Anthem” underrated episode. It’s easy to discredit this episode because it was shocking, but we think it is important to appreciate it despite the discomfort. We found lots to love in this episode.“15 Million Merits” another amazing episode. An incredibly in-depth dystopia with broad implications and many layers of meaning. There is social, relational, moral, and political meanings and each is a penetrating discourse.“The Entire History of You” A fantastic ending to season 1. More of a character drama exploring obsession, narrative bias, and depression. ReferencesWe can’t do an introDinosaur farts began global warming. Not in the episode, just a fun fact.top-to-bottom™When tall dark and handsome men like Nathaniel get diabetes Carter makes a great remark and everyone ignores it #1: “black lung in his fingers”In case you have had a nightmare about your teeth falling out: here’s some help Nathaniel: “I’m doing a lot of experimentation”Blazblue“Uh, English Please?!” classic clicheEvent Horizon: a movie with some obvious flaws but a pretty strong and disturbing coreCarter make a great remark and everyone ignores it #2: Unbreakable Injustice: The Michael Bay of Fighting Games™Power Stone: This one is very nostalgic for the Michael boysN64 controller: made for a more evolved human being.Pork benefits Meritocracy Robert Downey Jr.’s “Team Downey”

    Kickstarter and Crime Dramas

    Topics: For the first topic we talk about Kickstarter. Have you kickstarted anything? What were your experiences? What is your impression of the trend? Next is “Crime Dramas: What the Crap is up with Those Guys?” What are your favorites? What do you think of the genre at large? References: BattleCon: Fate of the Indines Ellen Page X-Men: Last Stand. Also, I feel compelled to explain that when Carter said X-Men: Origins, I was thinking of X-Men: First Class, hence my eager defense of the film. Don’t think less of me. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann “Iceman” Piccolo fusing with Nail: what a horrible scene. It makes the reference all the better though. Firefly playing cards: back front Firefly: the tv show Fireflies: the “music” Teen Titans Mighty No. 9 Zombicide Despacito Ice-T: Constant New Guy on the Job NCIS: oh how we hate thee. Reason 1. Reason 2. Reason 3. Reason 4. We could keep going. “The Perfect Crime” by The Decemberists Idris Elba Criminal Minds Bad episode (About Face; s03 e06). It was probably bad because of the money they blew on this daughtry song for the ending. Psych referencing the Mentalist Crime Drama Recommendations: The Wire Luther The Fall Criminal Minds Psych Lie to Me Blindspot Music Recommendations: “Through & Through & Through” by Joel Plaskett “Defining Me” by Motherfolk
