In this week's episode, the Cups dive into another main character and party companion from Dragon Age Inquisition—Cole. We talk about who, or what, Cole really is, as well as diving into his backstory and how he gets to the Inquisition. We also discuss how Cole might be representation for some groups, and how he's primarily motivated by empathy, compassion, and identity. If you love our show, you can support us on Patreon!

In this week's episode, Shelby and Austin dig into the history of Thedas' pointy ear residents.--perhaps the first residents on the continent. Throughout all three Dragon Age games, we uncover more and more history from the elven past. We even get to spend time in the Dales--the second elven homeland--in Dragon Age Inquisition. But what is the full history of the elven people? How did they go from one, united, virtually immortal people to the fractured, vastly different groups of city elves and Dalish that exist today? We'll take a deep dive into these questions and more as we discuss elven history. We cover the rise and fall of Arlathan to the elves in the Dales to modern elves.

Feedback Alone by EJ Noyes, Mine by Georgia Beers, and The Secret of Sleepy Hollow by Andi Marquette (rec’d by Wynnde)   The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: The Ultimate Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed, Revised Edition by Karen Gordon (rec’d by Diane) Questions 1. Hi there!    First off, I just wanted to say that I started listening to your podcast a couple of weeks ago and it’s now one of my favourites! I have so many books to add to my TBR pile.   I teach grade nine English, and every day I read out loud to my class from a YA novel. We do a little work with the novel, but I am trying to get them to associate reading with enjoyment for the most part since they generally don’t read on their own.    Right now we are reading Scythe by Neal Shusterman and they are loving it so far! Every time I stop reading they want me to continue (possibly because they want to get out of doing work but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt). I think they like it because it has a little bit of a darker premise and of course it has some good twists and turns.    Do you have any YA recommendations for novels that are similar to Scythe but would be good to read out loud to a wide range of reading abilities? I’m looking for something that is action packed and also a little thought provoking. Dystopias are popular with them but it’s not a deal breaker if you don’t recommend any; it’s good to expand their horizons once in a while. A little romance is okay, but nothing too over the top.   Thanks for your help! -Molly  2. I love reading but as the holidays approach I find myself with less and less time so I’m always getting my library books returned to the library half-finished.   Do you have any recommendations for novellas for a quick and satisfying read. I like sci-fi/fantasy, horror, thrillers, mystery and historical. No romance please. Bonus if it’s a woman writer.   Thanks, -Jayme 3. Hi! I’m looking for a book where you cheer for the villain. I’m NOT looking for a book about hitler or trump. Something kind of silly and fun. When you were watching the roadrunner and coyote, sometimes you wanted the coyote’s plan to work. Or the mad scientist in any cartoon ..sometimes you just want him to have a good day and take over the world. Please no graphic novels or comic books. I want a good novel to get lost in. I’m attaching my goodreads link -Jessica 4. My 12 year old son has recently become very interested in WWII. I’m hoping for middle-grade or slightly above books that discuss the history and also the history of those who lived through it. He is more interested in nonfiction, but he would also likely appreciate a fiction that still explains the history. -Monica 5. I read a pretty eclectic selection and even in non-pandemic years I go through a couple books a week.  Right now I’m looking for total escapism and not anything even close to reality.  I’ve been diving in deeper to different categories that I like, but what I’m really looking for right now are sci-fi/fantasy heist stories.  I loved the Rogues of the Republic series by Patrick Weekes, but I’m having trouble finding anything comparable.  Any suggestions. -Becky 6. Hello! I visited Rome and Sicily (where my mom was born) last year and fell in love with the deep history of Italy. Since we can’t go there right now due to COVID, I have been reading a lot about the history of Italy – specifically Rome and Siicily. But all I have been able to find are non-fiction books which are fine. But, historical fiction is my jam! Do you have any recommendations for historical fiction that take place in Italy? I read a lot about WW2 so preferably before 1900.  -Renee 7. So as I’m sitting here watching the first presidential debate, there’s a part of me that just wants to forget about American politics for awhile and maybe learn about someone else’s. I feel like I’m so hyper-focused on the political topography here in America, but I have no idea how other countries’ governments work. I’m curious if you guys have any recommendations for books that could help me understand the politics and government of other countries, particularly ones that are known for being very stable. Some countries I would be interested in learning about off the top of my head are Switzerland, Denmark and New Zealand, but open to learning about any country.

Bioware writer Patrick Weekes took the time to explain how one of Mass Effect 2's most hilariously awkward conversation prompts made its way into the game.

My radio show is back! I decided to jump back into the world of video game radio for 2020 - enjoy some shows before I start up in earnest. I spoke with lead writer for Dragon Age Patrick Weekes years ago about how the enigmatic character Solas was created, here is what that magic elf could have up his sleeve for us in Dragon Age 4.

Directed by Rod Hardy and co-written by Amy Berg and Chris Downey, The 12 Step Job aired on February 3, 2009. Sorry for the late episode, but you know how it is when a toddler goes though some sleep regression. But never fear, Cory and I made some time to talk about the 12 Step Job which really should have been called The Rehab Job because none of the 12 steps are described or taken. But we do get a medicated Parker, and detoxing Nate, cute moments with Hardison and Eliot, and a hallucinatory Sterling. (I still need to think of a catchy name for our book review portion of the podcast) Our books this week were: The Elemental Trilogy by Sherry Thomas https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17332556-the-burning-sky and The Castle Job by Patrick Weekes https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18318648-the-palace-job You can find Cory on twitter and instagram at @helenstwin. You can find me at @librariansti Thanks to the creators of Leverage- Chris Downey and John Rogers. And as always, my gratitude goes out to artist Rebecca Mock who inspired this podcast.

This month we are having a very general discussion of Dragon Age as a series with two of our FPS editors Betsy Brey and Elise Vist. We discuss a whole variety of stuff in this hour including what it is about Dragon Age that makes people obsessively play these games over and over, the differences between Dragon Age and Mass Effect, the in-game politics, histories and philosophies of the games, and the focus on romance and sexuality within the universe. This podcast does contain spoilers, especially for Dragon Age 2, but is mostly general discussion about the series.
