Lore Boys are back with some hot nasty Battletech lore! We're talking mechs in space, and how the loss of replaceable parts in the future really set a lot of people back. Come join our dystopian future as we descend into clan barbarity and turn on each other in a universe with limitless resources.
We ask questions like 'Which would win in a fight, Mellow Yellow or Mountain Dew?' Are there windmills in Spain? What's it take to get involved with a tickling competition? And we talk about Superman's dumb best friend from New Jersey.

We're back with more Monster Hunter lore. We're here to answer all your questions about the races in the world of Monster Hunter (and, by extension, Monster Hunter World). So grab your Palico, cause this is going to get treacherous.
This episode we cover conception of the three races: dragon-love, fish-love, and guinea-pig love. We ask questions like: is big gun better than big science brain? If there are no old people am I the old people? Is there a height limit for acceptable slavery? What if a people could actually be sustained by being yelled at over the phone while they sat in a cubicle?

Lore Boys are back with some fresh hot lore for ya. This week we're talking about Monster Hunter and the world before World, if you know what I mean. This is a spoiler-free lore cast about the world of monsters before people -- the real monsters -- show up.
We find out that all dragons are teenagers. We ask what the conversion is of horses to dragons. We talk about the rarest of resources -- those located in the butthole -- and we meet some old boys who show us a kidney stone on a stick.

Sure, we go to space, but look at this, we put a leg on a tank! Lore Boys are back with more great nerd-lore. This time, we're talking the popular 80s tabletop game Battletech, and its video game series Mech Warrior.
Talking points today include cannibalism in The Land Before Time, juicing a whale, snake oil salesmen in space, are seabirds the only real sustainable currency, and the fact that the energy required to cook raw chicken simply doesn't exist. So make sure to hop on the clan bus, hurl some insults into the sun, and we'll teach you all the lore you need to know.

Which vacation destination will leave you riddled with degenerative diseases for years to come this winter? Today's episode we get all the details about Warhammer 40K's Necrons, and the harsh, irradiating sun they spent millenia living under.
We hit all the important topics when choosing a vacation destination: Did Walt Disney ever visit there is his hyperbolic ice tomb? Which part of the caterpillar makes the silk? And would H.P. Lovecraft like the locals (the answer is probably not)?

Lore Boys are back with the exciting tale of two brothers hell-bent on destroying each other, but maybe only because some dude named Yawgmoth was real rude to people thousands of years ago? It's Magic: the Gathering lore, one of the coolest stories we've done on the show.
This episode we discuss the possibility that MJ was a Planeswalker, Peter learns how babies are made, we learn what a big brother complex is, and we talk once more about ancient robots and biased roombas. As everyone knows, men only want one thing, and it's t-rexes in swamps being ridden by vampires.

This episode we're talking robots welding folders shut, the world's deadliest sniper taking out servers, the Swiss Guard's newest halberd-wielding role, and we'll go over patch notes for the new testament (mainly the Jesus nerfs).

This week the Lore Boys are diving deeper into one of Ethan's favorite topics: it's Dungeons & Dragons lore! We're talking about the Illithid, an alien race hellbent on eating (and maybe other, less savory things) with YOUR brain!
We find out just how many handlers James needs to live his day-to-day life; we talk about slave-owning, plantation running squids; we discuss possible merchandising options like Lore Boys brine solution; and we reveal our secret mix of phlegms and spices. So stick your tadpoles into our brine pool and cuddle up next to this Elder Brain.

Anyone else so surprised that a free to play game would have so many hundreds of hours with such rich and deep lore? I know I sure was! We're here to talk about everyone's favorite grind: Warframe. Or, what Destiny maybe should have been but also probably not.
As always our hard-hitting journalistic style leads us to ask important questions such as: Did the "T" in Model T stand for Tenno? Are humans in the future still greedy? If an Ancient Robot only lives in the future is it really an ancient robot? Does it take more than 72 hours to make a baby? All these questions will be answered, so load into your frame and join us for a trip through the solar system!
We sent a moonful of children to the void in order to thank Eric Skiff for the use of his song, A Night of Dizzy Spells, as our theme.

It's 2018 and we're bringing planking back! The Lore Boys are here with the (temporary) conclusion to the lore of Bungie's Destiny. We're wrapping up Destiny the first as we wait for Destiny 2's expansions before diving into that.
Today's topics include but are not limited to: the Vex in an FBI van eating donuts and drinking boiled milk; advice from Biggie Smalls on leading the Fallen; is doritos and cheese curds technically a salad? This episode I struggle with the word presumably, Peter has a stroke and remembers fondly a Shake 'n' Bake competitor's jingle, and James walks us through pranks of the future.
As always, Eric Skiff will be receiving a payment in resurrections via Ghost for the use of our theme song, A Night of Dizzy Spells.
