Jack sits down with Jenn Haines, the owner and entrepreneur behind Guelph, Ontario's preeminent comic book shop, The Dragon. They discuss the business, life during Corona, what sells, what doesn't, and the 25th anniversary of an iconic location.

Part 2 of Jack's sit down with John Harres, designer of upcoming 18xx title, 1868: Wyoming.

1868 has a bunch of novel mechanics in it including amongst other things a thematic boom/bust cycle of towns that if you're not careful, can result in a formerly wealthy city turning into a ghost town of plain track.

Jack and Joel discuss Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom and Jack is astounded at how many times Joel has played the former. Hint: it's more than one! The boys also discuss Civilization and how they both failed to achieve their aims of taking over the world on the weekend.

There is also some talk about those lame Survivor games as well as a taste, a hint, an amuse-bouche if you will, of the System Shock 1 remake review. Look at you board gamer, a pathetic creature of glue and cardboard, panting and sweating as you carry your collection to game night.

Jack and Joel give the run down on CottageCon 2023: SPRING EDITION. Joel talks about the Bios series and how the madman, the absolute madman, played through Genesis, Megafauna, and Origins over a period of 24 hours. Then they discuss the meat and potatoes of the show, Eclipse 2nd edition. It is Joel's favourite game now and Jack is envious about is lame old first edition that has sat unplayed on the shelf for 6+ years.

Jack and Joel discuss grail games and Grail Games and games that involve sipping out of a grail while you count your money and goods coming off a boat in the renaissance. Preview of CottageCon 2023: Spring into inAction. Jack lets slip that he's a contrarian prick and just wants to pick fights with people because he has crippling anti-social tendencies.

In this riveting episode of Android's Dungeon, the boys get into it a bit about two scintillating games they've discussed 30 times already but this time we swear it's different and also, we've only talked about 1846 like twice, maybe three times so chill. We also have a rundown of the session 0-1 of Joel's Ghosts of Saltmarsh mining expedition homebrew. Lots of taffing.

The boys get into it a bit about twilight struggle. Jack doesn't really get this game but he appreciates it. He forces everyone to enjoy a track from Copenhagen Cowboy because it's so damn good and he can't stop listening to it. 1846 is a very interesting game that Jack does not understand but can possibly grok it with enough plays. Maybe Eric Brosius isn't busy.0000000000000000000000000000000000

We also talk about Splendour Duel, an unnamed abstract rock pushing game, and do a rapid review of Resident Evil 4: Remake at the ~1/2 mark of the game. Hint: it's awesome!

If you like to hear someone talk about a popular video game franchise, this is the episode for you. If you don't, you should listen anyway because you might learn something and stop being such a cynical prick all the time. Geez.

Resident Evil 2 > REmake1 > Resident Evil 4 > REmake2

But Silent Hill 1 & 2 are the best overall sooo...
