95: Cobra: A-A-Aaaa Saviour of the Universe

Download Episode 95, here.


Trying to synthesize the myriad of topics we discuss in this episode into shownotes would be, quite frankly, madness.


Suffice it to say, it is not exactly a normal episode.

Shootin' The Breeze

We start the show by discussing my big move; finally a room for my computer. Masturbation jokes ensue; what a surprise.

Review: Wizardry; The Anime





Wizardry the Anime is not in and of itself an important title; nor is it an especially good one.
