What is the only thing worse than a tribe of canibals sneaking in and murdering your people? Well a single communist according to RoboReagan that we covered last episode. Now we talk about the flip side of the side quest, the machine commune, a group of machines in a true democracy tied together by AI, where the most advanced synthetic lifeforms share the same level of importance as a toaster, which I believe is evil.

Deep in the post apocalyptic tundra of Colorado, lies the Western Capital of the fallen united states, led by a AI with the personality and traits of Republicans favorite president... Ronald Reagan. Today we discuss what would happen to the world if Reaganomics were fully upheld forever... I MEAN we discuss the Reagan cult named The Gippers from the amazing RPG Wasteland 3, which me and Cole played over on Twitch from start to finish, follow us on Twitch for  a gold star

OHHHHHHHHH THERE ONCE WAS A GOD WHO CREATED A PLAGUE; HE GAVE IT TO YOU AND YOUR LIFE THERE WAS SAVED; WE MERRY BAND OF NURGLE HOLES IN OUR FLESH ;OUR MERRY BAND OF NURGLE WE LIVE THROUGH OUR DEATH; THE MERRY BAND OF NURGLE PLEASE DADDY TAKE OF OUR FLESH;Got a little kinky towards the end there but all the same Nurgle part 2 being brought to you from 2 guys in a closet. We talk mainly about Nurgles soldiers and his commanders. I made up that song so trademark goes to me. (gold star to anyone who tweets us clips of them singing it)

Wanna learn about the friendliest, most loving, disease making god you could ever come across in bog covered mansion? Papa Nurgle, our friendly agent of natural causes and that all things should be in cycle. We learn the history of my favorite god, what makes Nurgle tick, and how he likes to operate. Are we just slowly becoming a Warhammer podcast? Maybe. But they do well so you guys must enjoy them, right?

Creepy crawly sticky boys that shoot butt strings to make homes, where would Tolkien take something so innately strange and scary? Demons, demon spawns, they eat light, like what drugs did this man take to create such weird things? Well whatever it was I am sure am glad he did.

Welcome back mi amigos to the wild world of Warhammer, staying on theme creepy crawly hive minds are back and the inevitable death of the universe is coming. A white board and chaos ensues as Cole and Jared fail to keep tabs on everything go on in this insane episode. Don't judge the mic work it gets worse.

Welcome back to the weird, wacky, expansive universe of Warhammer 40K, I did the shorthand this time because we talked about it before and now laypeople can understand it. If you could gold star to you, if you could not, listen to more LoreDump. What are Tyranids? How do they work? Why are their guns alive? Why did that one librarian survive? Well actually this time they all have very specific reasons that Cole either did or did not mention and you will have to listen to find out. Weird huh?

Cole and I have watched a lot of movies together in our time as friends and more accurately people who have the chemistry of 2 alley cats vying for total control of the only dumpster, but never has a movie made me walk around more during a watching with a friend. This movie is distractingly aggrivating, it is boring but worst of all IT IS POINTLESS. Join us in talking about a movie that should have never been made. Also NPH and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II carry the good parts of this movie.

What happens when Santa dies? What you thought Jolly Ol' Saint Nick was an immortal entity that magically had an enhanced lifespan enabling him to endure any hardships and live on for all eternity? Nope a simple slip from a rooftop and you need a whole new Nicholas "Santa" Clause, and what decides who becomes the new Reigndeer King of Winter? Well whoever puts on the suit of course! What? That seems arbitrary and stupid? AND IT MIGHT END UP ON TIM ALLEN OH NO! ABORT ABORT ABORT!

Do you believe that the ruling elites are controlling the world too forcefully and you need to go somewhere that hard work is all that matters? Well do I have a failed social experiment based off the work of a terrible Russian woman for you! Welcome to Rapture, a  place where the sweat of your brow could make you anything you want to be (it may also make you a drug addicted mutated freak)! Also, a place where corruption, identity theft, drug addiction, and insanity (may be related to the addiction TBH) were allowed to run rampant. Learn the history and the downfall of Andrew Ryan's perfect society.

Barbed wire, guns, safes, insane worlds run by psychopaths, but is it good? NOPE! Join us as we have our barbed wire fetishes tickled by the action oriented horror world. The gritty and eventually completely destroyed detective Castellanos experiences the horror world and learns of STEM, Ruvik, Mobius, and the the Inside Job may be set in the same world as this game.

Did you know that the moon is an alien made up of zombies just laying dormant waiting to destroy all of the universe? Waiting for what? Why is it dormant? The answers might be in this episode, probably not, but maybe. We join Isaac on the Ishimura (Jared look up how to spell the ships name) as we get spooked in narrow corridors and cut limbs off space zombos with mining tools! HELL YEAH! But then it gets weird. Yes space zombies is only the beginning and zombie moons is the ending, so what is the middle? Listen to find out!

HOW MUCH DO GUYS LIKE BTS?!?!! Personally I am not the biggest KPOP fan but hey whatever floats your goat. Yeah, I know I lived in Korea, heard it constantly and honestly it is quite catchy but like also it feels too happy and bubbly for me. Although the Family Guy episode where they go to Korea and then make a parody of Bubble Pop is fantastic. What? You're telling me BTS is behind the scenes? Well then podcast summary EA is a nightmare. The end.

You ever hear a half-asleep grown man lose his mind for 50 minutes? GET READY TO, unless you don't want to listen to this episode which is hella cool. Jared is tired and hates the ships, Cole needs to get in his car to drive home, and he loves the ships! What could be better than this chaotic combination? Well they talk about poorly designed and even more poorly priced ships from a galaxy far-far away. Did Shrek take place in this same galaxy? Curiouser and curiouser...

What is better than a critically acclaimed hit and a wildly entertaining b movie? How about an acclaimed court drama and a really weird brittish sci-fi movie? No? Too slow and boring? I get ya, we both get ya. But we did it! NOW LISTEN TO US TALK ABOUT IT!

In a Galaxy far far away some really stupid illogical ship designs exist, and Jared is here to have an existential crisis while getting so mad his brain ceases to function during the episodes. Yes, sodes, another multiparter, and by part 2 only one team member has any brain cells left. Since I spoiled it already, lets just eat popcorn and listen to Jared devolve into madness before our very eyes!

Cole and Jared (otherwise known as the guy who rights these things) are doing some low effort con- I mean doubling down and adding a second podcast a week! Welcome to Movie Night, where we watch 2 movies from a huge list of like 1000 we made randomly selected by our friend RNJesus, for the purpose of our own entertain and/or suffering (these 2 clauses are not mutually exclusive, and we are not liable if you get joint suffering/enjoyment from this podcast). This week we watched an acclaimed hit, produced by Steven Spielberg, Directed by Joe Dante, Gremlins, and then we watched a mysterious film known as Ninja Terminator. Join us as we chat about these 2 completely different yet somehow equally insane movies.

What if after T2 John Connor was killed in Mexico City and the terminator that did it decided he wanted to save a family from the abusive father, then he falls in love with the mom and stays to install drapes? Well, Legion is what would happen apparently. Yeah, I don't get it either.

Oops I did it again. Did what you ask? Make a terrible overdone reference. How many episodes of this show are just Cole showing me stupid things and me being like "why stop no please" Well yes it is another. This time actual Terminators, Arnold? Yes. Big clunky stupid looking things? Yup. Jared looking away from the mic? YOU KNOW IT! But in all seriousness, how is a franchise with 2 good movies so ubiquitous in our culture? They are 2/6 and that is not a good look. Am I just rambling now? Yes. Yes I am. If you made it this far you get a gold star. Collect them all to earn a prize!

WE ARE BACK! I didn't do it but I kind of did. Terminators. Are they cool? Are they good? Have they ever done their job besides in the alternate future of Dark Fate? No, no they have not. Today we talk mostly Hunter Killer models and why these things do not win the future wars... Cole really likes the future wars, I think Skynet really over complicates everything.

Back in the expansive world of Warhammer for our first foray into the fantasy side and the world of Age of Sigmar! Today we explore what would happen if a race of knaves with limitless hunger were forced to starve in their homelands, we learn about the nomadic warring mercenary race, the Ogres. Or is it Ogars? Maybe Ogors? Perhaps Ogers? Oreos? Whatever. Giant-slayers, cross-dressers, flamboyant pirates, giant mammoths, cannibals, and more Austin Powers references that I would have expected going into this, this episode has it all. So long as "it all" is those specific set of things.

What happens when a group of nerds fight with another group of nerds, still a giant ship, team up with a bunch of Chads and start flying around space forming their imperialistic cult by forcing races to join via threat of trial by death star? You get the Covenant from Halo. Sleep deprived Jared is back as we go mad talking about the weird antics of the Halo enemies, the weird religion of Forerunner tech, and how they would be terrible managers at any job because they do not know how labor dynamics work.

WELCOME TO HELL... AGAIN! Just like Doom Guy we just can't get enough of the burning hellscape filled with the undead and demonic monsters of Mars.  This time we talk about the odd amount of similarities in enemy design to Capcom's Onimusha, the late game enemies, pacifist speedruns, and the famous Icon of Sin

After a week off we come back with a humdinger of an episode. What do you think about demons from Hell? Now what do you think Demons from Hell on Mars would look like? Now what if a crazed insane man had his rabbit killed by said demon so now he murders all of them? Hi Doom, glad you could join us. We are talking about said Demons from Hell on Mars being killed by Doom Guy (and later Doom Slayer) join us in part 1 as we explore the old school blocky beloved enemies like Pinky and the obviously ripped from Dungeon and Dragons Cacodemon, to the weird imagery of every enemy in Doom 3. Cole must just want to make me dream of weird designs.

Today we take our first foray into the most beloved franchise of all time, Lord of the Rings, wait no, sorry, most divisive franchise currently going, Star Wars! Specifically the most useless mass produced soldiers and every variant they have... Oh boy I can feel my headache, please Cole stop torturing me with these insane ideas...

One of the weirdest and most beloved franchises in gaming history, the world that combines Disney Characters and the world of the most popular JRPG series of all time.
