Games and Feelings

Not all heroes wear capes, so maybe answering advice questions (in the words of Goldfinger) makes us a Superman? Ok, probably not, but Eric and Jasper had a lot of fun answering more advice questions, such as helping an introvert at a LARP and recommending the best Pokemon game to hop on with. And Eric surprises Jasper with a Game Within a Game about unlockable Tony Hawk characters.

We’re a real advice show because we didn’t answer any of your questions! But Eric and Jasper did spend the entire episode hashing out the balance of game and entertainment in reality competition shows. And honestly, it was great.

We’ve unlocked a new podcast guest! It’s video essayist and very cool internet person Jenna Stoeber. She’s joining Eric & Jasper to answer questions about bringing a new combat-focused epic TTRPG into your life, exploiting rules-as-written loopholes, and if a rhythm game should necessitate having rhythm.

It’s coming homeeeee! And by “it” I mean “Jasper” and by “coming home,” I mean “talking about soccer.” Jasper lays out the case for relegation in all sports, Eric brings a deeply frustrating update to the Sports Story Saga, and we advise you on how mortifying but also important it is to tell people about your creative ideas.
