We bring in guest host Domochevsky for an episode with hosts Spud Spudoni and Nathani, to discuss how Domo got into the hobby, what his workflow is like for designing blasters, and other thoughts on producing and selling creative work in this hobby.

This episode, recently pulled out of the WIP vault, is all about the intricacies of running a Humans Vs Zombies Event, differences on setting, good players and gamemodes, and much more. Boomstick Mods, Spud Spudoni, and Nathani while collectively have a lot of experiences with HvZ events, brought in our HvZ expert, Buffdaddy of Blaster Hub to give us his insight.

For this year's 2023 Endwar weekend, Spud Spudoni was the only member of our podcasting team to attend. To help fill out the experience, friend of the podcast DartSweep joins us to talk about his experiences as well, with Boomstick Mods and Nathani around to listen in and ask questions about their experiences. This is our longest episode yet, and is full of great content and conversation!

For episode 13, Boomstick Mods, Nathani, and Spud Spudoni ask questions and ponder ideas on how reviews are made, how they affect their viewership / nerf community, and how information is spread on hobby related topics. This is a deeper open ended discussion that has a lot of interesting points.

Nathani, Boomstick Mods, and Spud Spudoni enter The Meakerverse of Madness, reflect on relatively recent events, ponder past peculiar pleasantries, and attempt to ascertain advancements in our abilities in 2022, all while trying to translate Meaker's off recording shenanigans to get into our thoughts and predictions for 2023.
