Hunter Donaldson, stand up comedian and host of Old Gamer's Almanac, is here today to reinforce his only interested, Twilight Imperium. Thankfully he also had time to make a game based on the prompts: musical claustrophobia takes place on a single screen Horror was not explicitly on this list but you better believe we made a horror game anyway. And the worst kind: one you inflict on your friends! This game, I know why the caged bird sing (and it's scary!), turns karaoke into a shotgun blast of audio memes. Turn it on at your birthday party, lock all the doors and windows, and have a great time!

We're back! Kicking off a brand new season of Read it and Weep. We're calling the 3rd season "Back To School". Trying to understand pop culture has always been a mission of the show but now we're making it more explicit. And our first theme of Back To School is learning a bit more about film. I know, it's overdue. For the next couple of months, professor Anthony Lopez and associate professor Hunter Donaldson are going to give Alex the education he really already should have had. Featuring Alex Falcone (@alex_falcone) Anthony Lopez (@anthonylopezpt2) and Hunter Donaldson (@hungryhunty on Insta)
Divorcee Dottie Ingels (Julie Kavner) works in retail, but she really wants to make it as a comedienne.

Before long, Dottie finds success on the stand-up circuit. Unfortunately, this leaves little time to care for her daughters. When Dottie begins to date her manager, Arnold Moss (Dan Aykroyd), it’s the last straw for Erica and Opal. This week's guest:Dumb and Busted is a podcast hosted by Allyson Koplin, Hannah Eather and Hunter Donaldson.

Today, Hunter Donaldson and Matt Martens discuss what to do when the tides of battle start to turn and when the lead starts to feel more like a burden. Don’t give up! Let us show you how to win from ahead. Then, despite this whole episode sort of already being errata, we give you more errata on last week’s “win from behind” show. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

After discussing all of the guides, we'll discuss what's next for Space Cats Peace Turtles, and then, as usual, some errata! This time from the madness that was the Yin Brotherhood guide.

We have an incredibly special treat for everyone this week. Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson sat down with the developer of TI4, Dane Beltrami, to discuss his history with Fantasy Flight, the development of Twilight Imperium 4th Edition, and exploring the recently released Living Rules Reference.

Enjoy!
Today, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson are covering a very contentious race. People's opinions vary greatly on the quality and ease of the Sardakk N'orr, and so establishing a Round One plan can sometimes be very difficult. But Matt and Hunter are consummate professionals, and they see right through all your doubts and trepidations. FEAR NOT! The bugs can be conquered, it merely takes one stern of the heart, quick of the mind, and soft in the tummy. Join us afterwards for some lovely errata on the Naalu Collective.

Let's talk about tech baby, let's talk about the fishies. The Universities of Jol-Nar are the master of tech, and that makes nailing down specific strategies with them rather difficult.

On the third installment of First Round Strategies, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson try to crack the puzzle that is the Clan of Saar. How strong can a glass cannon be in Twilight Imperium? What IS a Saarball? And afterwards, we follow up on community discussion about The Yssaril Tribes. Also, next week's episode will be out late, so please be patient with us as we work through the holidays. And expect it to be a bit rough around the edges as well! Sorry in advance, but it's also sure to be a very fun episode.
This week’s episode is all about everyone’s favorite stinky goblins. Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson's discussion revolves around early game strategies for Yssaril Tribes and moving the Tribes into the late game. After that, we pick up a few tips from the community about the Xxcha Kingdom.

And to top off an already long episode, this one closes with errata centered around our Technology episode.
This week is the Technology Spectacular! Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson overview the Technology Strategy Card, the changes to technology mechanics, as well as looking in depth at every single tech.
