-This episode started out really well, with a Standard Echo Chamber talk about fighting games that became about Bobby Flay eating pigeons. Then we kinda lost track somewhere and I started a Game Show.
-Cow and Chicken? Yup, that was a real show in the 90's. That was in the era when the 80's ran out of toys to sell, so they kinda grabbed anybody and was like "YO, YOU GOT A SHOW IDEA? FIRST ONE THAT POS INTO YOUR HEAD, GO!" Also Charlie Adler did the whole "I do a shitton of voices in this cartoon" WAY before Seth MacFarlane.

-Esperanto is like the Bitcoins of language: Yeah,sure it's a good thing in theory to unify everything, but at the same time everything else that currently exists satisfies that niche pretty well, so like, why bother?
Difference is that those who practice Esperanto, while not learning a very widely used (like, at all) language, are still using the part of your brain engaged in language skills and are working under the pretense of getting all human beings to communicate with each other on a common plane so that we can live on this Earth in piece.
Bitcoin users set their computers on fire in a futile effort to gamble and hope the rest of the world catches on, and if not say that they will go Galt and live in a Libertarian Paradise that will not have anything go wrong.
-Klingon Kongress- The exact opposite of sexual congress.
Or sexual congress, but WITH WAY MORE COMBAT! Like, you add rubber bits to a Bal'eth and fuck each other with them. Oh yeah, baby, feel my ridges
-Fulminator Mage
This card is WAY lamer than I was imagining. "Sacrifice Fulminator Mage: Destroy Target Nonbasic Land". A. Ghost Quarter already exists and B. In Modern Mastars format, the non-basic lands aren't terribly good.

-I'm still down to do a live podcast, having us all show up on video and you can see what we all look like. The answer is, ugly, hideous, stupid, and butts in no particular order. Maybe double butts.
-The Universal Studios/Nintendo Thing is true. We're still waiting on details, and they won't happen for another few years, but as you can tell, we're already giddy with excitement.
Interestingly enough, I found in my research that this is not the first time Nintendo and Universal Studios have crossed paths. Early in Nintendo's career as a video game company, Universal Movies got super butthurt that Nintendo used the word Kong in titles of one of it's games. Then the United States District Court for Southern New York was all like "Ehhh.... not really", and that made Universal even more butthurt, trying to coerce 3rd parties into not doing business with Nintendo. Universal had to pay Nintendo damages to the tune of $50,000, using $30,000 to buy a sailboat called the Donkey Kong.
Another big takeaway from this is that the lawyer who represented Nintendo was named John Kirby, later using his name for the popular Kirby character. Which is ironic, because clearly John Kirby didn't suck at his job.
