Oops! Kevin, Kornflake, and the Mayor of Chickentown are trapped in a walk-in freezer! (Kornflake didn't know the door locked automatically!) But while waiting to be rescued by a wacky neighbor, they recall favorite moments from past Flopcast episodes through a series of annoying old clips. Okay, not really. For our 200th show, we're just relaxing in the studio as usual, because alas, this isn't quite a 1980s sitcom. (But we're working on it.) In honor of National Cereal Day, Kevin shares a really stupid idea he once had for a really stupid new cereal. Then the Mayor discusses her recent trip to California for the annual Doctor Who convention known as Gallifrey One. She encountered many colorful characters out west, including the great Luke Ski, TV's Kyle, Lindzilla, Ken Reid, Greg Proops, Laura Kightlinger, Phil Plait, Joseph Scrimshaw, and ESO Director Mike Faber! Meanwhile Kornflake tells us all about her visit to New England's largest game convention, TotalCon. She even has a Flopcast interview with the creators of a new robot-themed card game, PBL Robots! Finally we review some Flopcast stats after 200 ridiculous weeks of podcasting, and reveal why we're dispatching Flopcast listeners, one by one, to North Dakota. (Watch your inbox.

Editor's Note: Ryan mentions the Dice Tower presence at Total Con was Ryan Metzler. He mixed Metzler and Eric Summerer mixed up. Although he feels bad, he has been put into the town stocks for a day as a result anyhow.   We’d love to hear from you! Please leave feedback in our forums, or via email at podcast@cardboardrepublic.com.

This week Blix hijacks the show and takes it to TotalCon. Enjoy this live recording with Blix as your MC and his three guest hosts: Jay Libby, James Carpio, and John Sussenburger. The show was recorded live before an audience and tackles inter-dimensional gaming. Being that my co-hosts, who are all games designers, have never played Fringeworthy, we spoke about inter-dimensional gaming in a broad general sense. This was a lot of fun and I think you'll pull some good info and a lot of laughs from this episode. Enjoy!
