We welcome our guest Ken! He’s a guy that likes things. He likes a game called Terraria, and we want him to explain it to us. He worked on a MOD for it! Which is neat.

Bad movies make hilarious references. And then great Mythbuster episodes. Apoc-A-Lypse. Mike knows the next X Men movie won’t go as far as he has read in comics. Alan brings up the interesting series Old Man Logan. Josh questions how Wolverine has never crushed any of his lovers with his adamantium skeleton. Veronica talks about how awesome Prof. X is. And how character duality is the most interesting to her. Mike likes Cable, because he is like Matrix from Reboot.

It's easy to solve a series of murders if you were the ones committing them.

Crab burp and other burp. Completely mature right? And straight into cat puke chat. Hope you’re eating. And for the main topic, we talk about how crowdfunding is really helping the board game market. How the idea of what a board game was, and how the landscape is changing. And it is not Monopoly hour, don’t panic.

And do not forget how we crash and burn! We are so great at that. Did you know the Cards Against Humanity does some cool stuff? We learn you. I’m writhing thinking, "Is he still talking? Dear god." And we end with the long awkward goodbye. And, as always, thanks for listening.

Josh starts off by sharing some Roulette Candy. Mike is entertained, yet not enthralled with comic book movies as of late. We also get into future of comic book movies. And what we are looking forward to. And what we’re not. We have a conversation that no fans ever like to have, distribution/production rights and our favourite characters. Team Fortress 2 comics are hilarious. Check them out. And, as always, thanks for listening.

So, a zombie goes into a hobbit tinkerer’s shop to buy some Turbo Legs... Stop me if you’ve heard this one?

Welcome to the first and last Buttcast! Alan asks us, Why don’t the Zords fight individually? Then we all go on about the 90’s cartoons we remember. And complain about discmans, and other old portable music devices.

That’s awesome. Mike wonders what the hell is wrong with Triple A gaming. And some open world games are just too big. And we plug Soylent more! Could you sponsor us? Please Soylent!

Could be a mini or a bonus, but whatever. Alan found a list of computer generated cards that would be for Magic the Gathering. List from escapist.com. Also, Josh brainstorms with Alan about his custom MTG game type. Could it be the start of something amazing?

With Mike ill, Josh and Alan kill. Like a comedian kills, with laughter. Alan tells you about Soylent. Josh like Futurama as a cartoon that is too smart for him, then he complains that other cartoons are getting too deep. Josh let's you in on some of his oddities. Then Alan and Josh chat about their work. And after, reminisce on good times with their families. Then the episode falls into some movie talk. And finally ends with chatting about the Twitch Stream.
