Over on Netflix, Wednesday is straight out of the mind of Tim Burton and some of the team behind Smallville and it's great, Gavin Inglis and Glen Rahman's Alone Against the Frost from Chaosium is well-written, super challenging solo roleplaying for Call of Cthulhu, Resident Evil 2: The Board Game from Steamforged Games is an ace adaptation of a classic video game onto the tabletop, and Paperback Adventures from Fowers Games is moreish wordy fun. 00:00 - #LJJ and “Spa Talk” 12:12 - Alone Against the Frost 29:42 - Resident Evil 2: The Board Game 38:57 - Paperback Adventures 48:43 - Wednesday All that, and a warm water bed, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner).

We apologize for the poor quality of Mark's half of the audio this week. We offer two possible explanations. One is that Walker, motivated as he is by spite and malice, engaged in an elaborate act of sabotage so as to undermine Mark in public. The other is that Mark (the editor, mind you) messed up the audio settings. I agree that the latter is too improbable, too conspiratorial, to take seriously--but we include it for the sake of comprehensiveness.
