Episode 104: Chicken Chat

This week, Denis and Riley get across advice questions about dealing with avoiding looking up answers and walkthroughs for games and how to navigate vast skill differences when playing games with more casual friends.

Episode 100: Putting the Gathering Back in Magic

This week, Denis and Riley reveal a HUGE announcement (no, it's not this episode being available on vinyl) - be sure not to skip the ad read this time, not that you ever would, because this is very seriously a big one. Outside of that it's business as usual, with advice and AITA questions from listeners on a range of topics, as well as some Age of Empires II chat.

Episode 99: Riley Forgot to Change His Mic Sett...

This week, Denis and Riley offer you the opportunity to savour some less-than-optimal audio quality as Riley accidentally used his built-in laptop mic to record the episode instead of the audio setup he dragged all the way to Germany. Oops! (It's not really that bad, though.) In this episode there are discussions from everything from playing card games with kids to how to trick your friends into playing the games you want to play, recorded with beautiful hotel room echo ambiance for your listening pleasure.

Episode 98: Hoot Owl Hoot

This week, Denis and Riley address the many, many deaths Magic has died (and the long history of those deaths), advise on how best to approach playing board games with kids, talk about how to deal with rude opponents at FNM, and then have a remarkably strident disagreement over one listener's question - their biggest argument yet. Will they ever be able to heal the rift between them? Probably. They're pretty good mates. Got a question, query, or quandary?

Episode 97: SMaR Gets Serious

This week, Denis and Riley get a little more serious than usual, tackling some questions about racism, bigotry, and other garbage behaviour in both Magic and gaming in general. They advise on questions addressing what best to do in situations where people are behaving unacceptably, and talk about some of the ways you might be able to help people get on the right side of history.

Episode 95: Gamers Don't Know What They Want

This week, Denis and Riley get across gaming advice of all kinds - some classic Magic advice with a Shark Tale, advice on how best to get into a new gaming hobby, and from your local jungle specialist Denis Stranjak, the etiquette involved in taking camps from laners - there's also a long and argumentative discussion about difficulty in video games, so look forward to that!
