All right, we need to talk about Sokka. Another staple of kid's shows is often The Annoying One. I don't know why, but they're often there. Steven Universe had Ronaldo, but they knew to use him sparingly. Sokka is so aggressively obnoxious in the first two episodes it is a miracle anyone makes it to episode three. He could have just been the complainer, but additionally his monumental and gratuitous misogyny is so bad that one wonders what Suki (an awesome character) ever saw in him. Sure, he gets better, but always in my mind the Early Days Sokka looms over the show like some terrible shadow.

54:35 Topic: What Makes a Game Worth Recommending?
1:21:10 SVWAG Presents: Masterpiece Theatre: Avatar The Last Airbender Season 1
In this episode, Tom is away, so Crystal joins Eric to talk about 50 Missions of The Crew, Hugo, Alice is Missing, Arch Ravels, Gravwell 2nd Edition, and Stellar. Geoff talks about choking, and we finish up with a Top Ten list of games that be played in 30 minutes or less.
Toot toot, the No Pun Included boat has docked, ready to unload three stormy board games into your harbour. Are these board games fresh as the fruit of the sea, or do they perhaps smell a bit fishy? Quick, someone take away the analogies from me because I’ll starting waxing on about how we spill the board game guts. Oh no. It’s too late - the board game guts - they are everywhere.
Timestamps:
Fleet: The Dice Game - ( 02:39 )
The Crew: Mission Deep Sea - ( 19:59 )
The Adventures of Robin Hood - ( 36:05 )

In this constructively 155th episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down podcast, Quinns and Tom are absolutely going to build you two cities and then bury you in witches. Today we’re talking about Magnate: The First City and North Berkeley, two very different takes on the property market with at least some political undercurrents, and we’ve got Witchstone, which switches to witches. Plus a little bonus micro-chat about Tom’s recent review of The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Join Dan, Sarah and Jules on this episode as they are visited by the fabulous Monique and Naveen from Before You Play. We chat to them about their journey from Instagram to YouTube, some of their favourite designers and themes, and how they approach creating content.
In our Sizzling Games segment Sarah has been using the modular boards to play Scythe with two players, Monique has been trading cloth in Calimala, Jules has been mining for minerals in Tinner's Trail, and finally Naveen has been investing in spices in Goa.
We check in on the Bracket Battle 2.0 and also answer some of your questions in The Roast.
Finally, in Swear An Oath Sarah has completed the campaign in My City, and also taught Def how to play War Chest. So for fear of idle hands Sarah then swears a new oath to complete her campaign of The Initiative. Dan is on the precipice of starting The Dunwich Legacy, but also doubles down and swears to play the Nightfall expansion to PARKS. Jules is determined to complete Planet 6 in Unsettled, but also plans to spend some time doing some painting over the next week. (Why not join him in our Print&Paint channel on our Discord!)
Unfortunately due to the current COVD-19 restrictions in NSW and VIC we have had to postpone the Game Days in both states. We are currently looking at new dates and we will communicate that to you ASAP.

While one of the appeals of following a specific game designer is the comforting familiarity of what they do best, it's also really fun to see them go off the garden path. We're looking at games and mechanics where one of our beloved designers zigged, when they easily could've zagged. Before we go our own way, we talk about Biosphere, The Ratcatcher: The Solo Adventure Game, and Stephenson's Rocket.

Then Tony T, as always, wows us with the best gaming news there is to hear, and the gang wraps up the show with another Short Topic Extravaganza with topics including is it okay to turn down designers when they ask you to playtest? Do you like long turns with few rounds or fast turns with tons of rounds? And do we believe in bigfoot and UFOs?
