It's been a year and a few days since the last episode, but I had to do something in memoriam to the legend Stan Lee. Like 3CN: https://www.facebook.com/3rdCoastNerds Follow 3CN: https://twitter.com/3rdCoastNerds Music by: www.bensound.com

It took a few weeks, but we're back, and we're here to talk about Wonder Woman.

Over 100 served. We're still recovering from Comicpalooza. Kyle is drunk on 3D printer power. We review some of our takeaways from the convention, Neal talks about a couple of new games he's played, and Kyle and I go off the deep end of all of our maker wants. That, and all the bad jokes you're used to for this special-but-still-pretty-normal episode!!

Net neutrality has become a hot-button topic again, and in an effort to try to dissect the issue, I've invited Chris and Trevor to discuss as many sides as we can to try to understand what net neutrality is, what the FCC is attempting to do about it, and what we as consumers should do to help shape legislation and rulings that regulate how the internet works.

Chad sits down with a former lobbyist, a software developer, a child psychologist and educator, and Mills...you know him. We talk about a few of the positives and negatives from the first 30 days of the Trump administration. The show was so YUGE it had to be split into two parts.

The trio is reunited once again. We start off with our reaction to the Logan trailer, which we watched right before we rolled the intro music. For some reason Anne Hathaway can control giant robot things all of a sudden? We talk about the possibilities for her movie Colossal without knowing any of the relevant details. Neal has a new must-own game, and he has an interesting question for us that taps into the nature of artificial intelligence. All that and outro music, because we know how much you missed that.

It's been a few months since we last talked to Kenneth (badmonkey_fpv). The tech behind quadcopters is evolving so fast, it's difficult to keep up with what's going on. We talk about the evolving tech, chassis design, and the growing sport as a whole, and we have Mills in the mix. He asks a lot of questions that newcomers might ask. Lots of detail in this episode to digest.

I dive in deep with Derryc from Sourbunny Productions. We talk about the changes in the convention scene from the artist's perspective, his hands-on approach to creating art, plagiarism vs homage, and the charitable intent behind the art. It's a lot of show, but it's well worth it to get to know this evolving artist.

Neal is busy trying to rescue his ailing refrigerator, but we're joined by John and Meg for this episode. Somehow Kyle had never seen the Dark Crystal re-dub. We had to change that. We also talk Everquest, Legendary Firefly and what they got wrong, house rules that fix broken games, how odd noises can make everything better, and finally, some of our favorite story arcs.

We're kicking this year to the curb, and we're bringing in Mike to help take out the trash. We discuss some games, and what toys almost killed us when we were kids. We'll see you guys in 2017...have a good one!
We're joined by Garcia and Kristin for this episode...the first 3CN cast from Chad's house. There were some unfortunate technical issues throughout the show that were no noticed until editing...but it is what it is. We talk Westworld (we swear we're done with it), and Rogue One. Some things are liked. Some things aren't liked. We have a good time.
We swear we're going to actually finish Westworld and do a more in-depth episode about it. Until then, we discuss some of the points of the show, artificial intelligence, and some Magic The Gathering. All that, and mental gymnastics trying to remember music from old video games.
We're joined by Sak to discuss everything...toys from our childhood, how would artificial intelligence kill us, and the labor of building things. It's a long show...lots of info to mow through.
Mills is back...and he's sorry. We talk about a lot of things. A lot of gaming going on lately. How do you store and transport your Dominion collection? Do you sleeve? What about foosball? What about basketball? What about UFC? What about all the things???
Happy Thanksgiving y'all. We're joined by Mike again to get back to nerding as it should be. We touch base with Neal after his brief hiatus, talk games, a little Flash...it's all the good up until the sugar high from the pre-show apple pie starts to wear off.
No fear...damn the torpedoes!! There will be jokes...we will have fun again!! On this episode, we're joined by our favorite soldier Mills, and we go in on where we are, where we're going, and where we'll always be. Serious, but not serious...sorry, but not sorry. Also, UFC 205, Irish bare knuckle boxing, and dogs that don't know how to bark.
IT'S MAGICAL TREVOR!! We're joined by one of our best friends and Harry Potter afficianados Trevor. Anyone remember that person that was in that thing that one time? We dive back and try to remember things, there's some game talk, and you get to listen as Chad tries to troubleshoot the video that fails just a few minutes into the show.
Boo...be afraid. We discuss Halloween traditions, odd items that are handed out, and how churches tried to co-opt Halloween. All that and The Walking Dead talk. I'M SO AFRAID (snot bubble)!!!
Your vote counts...why not vote for the merc with a mouth? If it were down to Deadpool vs. Professor X for president, who would you choose?
We're once again joined by John for a podcast that has all the fixins...political talk, tropes, games, what you can and cannot do with opposable thumbs. It's all killer and no filler!
Three claws vs the future. How would it all go down between Logan and Wesley Snipes? Could a superhero outrun a car? We turn to real world examples to test the validity of the Captain America: Civil War foot chase. Also, we drafted Kaladesh over the weekend...wouldn't you like to know how it went?
On this episode, we're joined by the always entertaining Mills. What would the white walkers do to Trump's wall? Remember when movie trailers didn't have to be anything? Netflix n'chill? Nah son, more like Netflix is gonna rule the earth! It's all the sweet conversational candy you love...come get it!
Neal is back, and on this episode, we talk about the Emmy awards, movies you just can't say no to, and the struggle of trying to watch a show in a different language. All of this and Chewbacca sounds...what more could you ask for?
John is back for another show, and filling in for Neal is his wife Meg. What happens when nerds fall in love? Where do you turn when you need a rad table for podcasting and gaming? Why isn't there a store called Mech Depot yet? All this and for reasons unexplained...Tim Allen!
John is back, and we're determined to make up (for realsies this time) for the lost episode. We dive in hard on tabletop games and also briefly discuss some changes to the DC movie universe. You want to know what games you should buy to start your collection? This is the episode to listen to.
Do we have audio? Is it working? Can you hear us? After losing an entire show due to technical errors, we're back and determined to make sure this thing actually works. We cover some neat Bill Nye news, some game talk, and the fate of Garden Ridge Pottery. What happened to all that wicker?
Blah blah blah...explicit language ahead. We're joined by Josh on this episode, and we careen from one subject to the next. We talk Suicide Squad, the possible future for DC films, and Croc shoe fetishes. We also talk about the upcoming UFC 202 bout between McGregor and Diaz. We had fun...we hope you have fun listening.
Live on this show...we listen to Michael Phelps win another gold medal. You want a reboot? We go through the list of all the planned reboots between now and 2020. Also, we get into some games. No Man's Sky anyone?
