Ahoy ahoy dweebs! WE ARE BACK! And almost, almost on schedule too. This time on Full Metal RPG we have Ben back in the saddle with Adam and Brendan and that makes for some spirited conversation.

Well amigo, the hour is nigh. You can only outrun the law for so long and then they put a silver bullet, dipped in holy water right between your fuckin' shoulders. Now I hear that forlorn cry in the distance compadre, the sound of that one way ticket to Hell come to carry me away. I guess I'll lay here in the dirt, waiting for El Diablo Maior to come carry me away, and you can read me this here letter from my dear ol' paw back east. He knew I'd never make nuthin' of myself. I never was very book...

Adam and Brendan got together this week to watch Forever Knight and record a podcast. In the process of doing this Brendan became increasingly aware that he was coming down with some kind of malady. Instead of cancelling and putting of the show until such a time as he could assemble words into cogent sentences, he instead decided to "power through." These are the tapes. Listen and judge for yourself. Music by Our Lady of Shadows, Rollins Band, Fred Molin, and Knife Party

Hail! Blasphemers! Brendan and Ben just returned from the long month of August, where they spend the final weeks deep in the bowels of the Shadow Fathoms eating psychotropic myconid children and tripping balls super hard with the dark elf shadowmancer Dripztt and Raistlington the dwarven mega-wizard. When they returned they found a raven had brought word from Archlictor Miseophant in California seeking some blackened homilies on the craft of gaming. So they rounded up that fucker Shadowsworn Ada...
