Fred and Alex recount their terrible experience at the poorly organized AnimeExpo. Rude staff, poor organization and ridiculous lines to name a few of the problems. Was it the worst convention ever? What can the Expo do to create a better show for fans?

Episode 57 of the podcast, a special "sick and tired" edition. Suffering from allergies; Chris fills us in on Fred and Alex's AnimeExpo bummer, the brewing meme wars, and some gaming news. We then play our very first test session of the podcast from April of 2016.

Fred tells us about his Ape movie marathon. We go deep into the lore and mechanics of a custom RPG called Tetsuken. We discuss the right and wrong ways to do a superhero movie.

Chris and Jake discuss the underwhelming news from E3. Is this the generation of remastered old games? We talk about crazy game peripherals and home simulators. We also get deep and dark about nanotech and the future of VR.

In today's episode we talk about the newly announced (and poorly named) Xbox One X. We then talk about upcoming games we hope to see more of at E3 2017. We double down on our criticism of the newest Star Wars movies before sharing our wild wishes, predictions and fears for The Last Jedi and other upcoming films.  Recorded 06-11-2017.
