This week, Andrew Kolb joins us for another segment of Calculated Comics with Kolb. After the jump, Luke introduces us to the world of Vast: the Crystal Caverns. I call the cavern! Patrick discusses the trend of brutalist web design and shows us an example of a big miss: TED2017. Andrew closes us out with his review of the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. Hint, it's more Beast than Beauty.

If there was an episode that could change your working career, this might be it. Dustin Lee went from $35,000 in debt to running a severely successful online marketplace by giving away all of his trade secrets. It's amazing how forward thinking seemingly backward logic can be. Check out the episode and learn exactly how you can begin on the path toward passive income.

The Master's have been on the road this week and are celebrating their 200th episode! From Disney World to PAX East, we're traveling to bring you the best from our world. We talk Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress, the new NBC show Trial & Error, the boardgame The Networks, Soarin', PAX, The Office and more!

Jamey Stegmaier is the creator of the game that dominated Kickstarter, Scythe! This week we talk with Jamey about his experience designing games, the pitfalls of raising $1.8m on Kickstarter, responding to your critics, and we wrap everything up with talk of his upcoming legacy game, Charterstone.

It's a new dawn. It's a new day. You know how we feel. Pretty decent. This week we answer a question from the community, talk the new PS4 release Horizon Zero Dawn, sample Starbucks Single-Origin coffee, praise the simplicity of the Nintendo Switch + Zelda, explore Thingiverse, and close out the episode with a roundtable discussion of the latest Marvel offering, Logan. Spoilers abound so avoid unless you've already seen this amazing film.

This week, we sit down with Brad Woodard, Co-Founder of Brave the Woods. From the early days of Skillshare, to operating a design firm and running a GoFundMe, Brad has lots of experience (and wisdom) on how to wisely navigate workload. Additionally, Brad is connecting talented artists to our educators through his initiative Artists for Education. What a good dude.

And the award goes to... someone else! Let us tell you more of what you already know: Abstract: The Art of Design is a new Netflix documentary highlighting incredible creatives across varied mediums in a fun and respectful way. Control - the game by Mattox Shuler - is a must-play... even though it's tiny and easily lost. Listen for clarity on that remark. And finally, the Acadamy Awards are a thing that continues to happen while also remaining polarizing. Great!

Mattox Shuler is 50% of Keymaster Games and 100% impressive. Part creator of the games Control and Campy Creatures, Mattox is a game designer and Kickstarter veteran. Join us as we talk about the process of creating a game concept, play-testing, the importance of design and successfully funding a project. Here's a hint... just do it.

It's all fun and games until... well, it's all fun and games! This week two of the Masters are fresh off a trip to the happiest place on earth. Here's a hint: there is one mouse involved. The other Master has been camped out in front of a TV so he can bring you the freshest reviews. After a word from our sponsor, the Master's give their Oscar predictions, talk good times with old games (Dominion) and introduce you to the artistic goodness of Joey Chou. Very nice. Finally, check out the piece from our "Make Comic Sans Cool Again" contest, created by Taylor Ackerman aka Long Dog Design.

This week the Masters are excited to talk to the very talented artist / illustrator Kevin Wilson aka Ape Meets Girl! After discussing Kevin's background and how he translates design to printing, the Masters shift the discussion to his latest print release through Grey Matter Art, "Planet of the Apes". Finally, Kevin unveils his Leia art for the upcoming Leading Ladies Art Show.
