Amin and Ashley are joined by Carly to cover Attack on Titan, the anime. We have an extensive aftershow filled with shipping, creaking doors, and a failed attempt to define the scorpions in the snakes and scorpions game. At the end of the very end of the aftershow (~1hour, 24 minutes in), we cover some material that may have manga spoilers (borderline, but there) so heed the spoiler warning there and avoid it if you wish.

The first gaming related Bastards of Kingsgrave episode, this episode focuses on the classic RTS Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings. I am joined by guest host Dave, a good friend and fellow gamer. In regards to the current forms of AOK, we rave about the great fan expansion Forgotten Empires and rant about the release of AOK HD. Here is the promised page with old AOK screenshots and recorded games. Note: In the months since the release of this podcast episode, AOK HD has much improved (though it still has  problems) and is playable now. In fact, we do play it, and may do an updated podcast on it in the future.
