Time for con recap! After our first try at our last episode decided to scramble itself, we decided we'd record a bonus episode with con recap rather than starting entirely from scratch, so this time around we're telling you our favorite games of PAX West and our adventures at Rose City Comic Con. We're also sick, and this episode is a bit of a wild ride as a result. Also, Missy started swearing so this one's marked explicit. Sorry!

After our first try at our last episode decided to scramble itself, we decided we'd record a bonus episode with con recap rather than starting entirely from scratch, so this time around we're telling you our favorite games of PAX West and our adventures at Rose City Comic Con. We're also sick, and this episode is a bit of a wild ride as a result. Also, Missy started swearing so this one's marked explicit. Sorry!Mistakes: A Case of Distrust is more of a point-and-click adventure, not a visual novel. Genres are hard. Also, the podcast Merri's been listening to is called Dames and Dragons, not…whatever of the six thousand different names we tried to call it by.Some Links You Might Find Interesting:WWAC’s PAX West Awards: Smooching Our Way Through The Show Floor by Melissa Brinks, Stephani Hren, and Joesph LangdonHopi-less: How Kachina Became Donut County by John WalkerCritical Point Panel at RCCCOur Website | Twitter | Facebook | Tumblr | Patreon | Merch56 min

1 hr 40 min - Episode 70 - Sexual Harassment in the Geek CommunityWe're back to the serious stuff in episode 70, talking about sexual harassment in the geek community. Why does our area of interest tend to have such a high instance of sexual harassment? How can we stop it?Warning: Some of this conversation may be triggering for certain listeners. Nothing is discussed in too much detail, but it's better to be safe than sorry. We also swear, because this is a topic best suited for adults.Mistakes: Missy goofed up the quote by Jay Edidin about 200 different ways, both by accidentally pasting it twice in the outline and not attributing it once, and then, as a result, misquoting it because she thought she wrote it. The actual quote is, "When you see harassment and abuse, and you are in a position to call it out and effect actual consequences, and you don’t, you don’t get to be a good guy anymore. You have become part of the problem. You are why this shit persists–every fucking bit as much as the people perpetrating it."What Missy's Been Up To:Watching:

We're working out the kinks (eh, get it? get it?) of our feelings on Wonder Woman in episode 69! As anything but experts on the iconic character, we're having bit of a learning experience as we read up on history, connect Marston's original concepts with the recent film, and think about how women training to fight makes us cry.
