Ben and Tyler are back!  As usual, with Chris and THE Zack Mathews, and Travis returns!  Gathering to talk about nothing, as usual, but also the store champ meta, and how to learn from winning and losing.

Ben sleeps through recording again!  Tyler has to work!  So, Chris is joined by THE Zack Mathews, and our listener AND TOP 16 AT WORLDS Travis "The Johnson" Johnson.

This is by far our longest episode, we cover pretty much everything from worlds, the upcoming meta, and where we think the current problems in X-Wing are.  Also, how much better we are than Gold Squadron.

Of course, a discussion about cheating on camera. We're onto you, Justin Phua, note taking is strictly against the rules!  Also, fly casual?  Whatever, just have some fun.

Just a quick recording Chris and Tyler take in the car, with some great interviews THE Zack Mathews took in Europe and at Worlds.

Full length Worlds recap next time!

Last week before Worlds!  THE Zack Mathews is MIA in Europe, but Ben, Chris, and Tyler discuss:

• Worlds Streaming!
• Loopin' Chewie World Championships!
• What else to do at Worlds!
• Tactics while playing aces

We also give Dion Morales of the shameful Gold Squadron Podcast a call to talk about... a lot of things, but mostly how he pronounces his name wrong.

And it wouldn't be a KRAYT episode without talking about completely related Magic and StarCraft stuff, so that's in there too.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CANCER LINK

Even more actual content?  Chris Allen, Travis Johnson, and Tyler Barnett follow up from Listener One.  What would happen if you nerfed mindlink or jumpmasters out of the game?  Who knows!  Then we talk about upgrades, ships, and pilots that limit future game design across the factions.  How have other games dealt with these cards that prevent new things from being released?  We walk through other games and formats to get an idea of where X-Wing might be headed in the future.

More actual content?!?!  Chris Allen and our one listener Travis Johnson get a chance to have a discussion with some guy named Paul Heaver to talk about the future design and format for X-Wing!  We talk to Paul about potential rotations and design restraints, and about the game in general!  And the real question, does Paul think bombs are OK?
