Walker: But, indeed, sir, we make holiday,

to see Freedom Five and to rejoice in its triumph.

Mark: Wherefore rejoice? What delight brings it home?

What enjoyment follows it to the table,

To grace in fun times its board presence?

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!

An auspicious palindrome of an episode number! Granted, in triple digits one encounters a palindrome every ten episodes or so, but I'm sure the numerologists amongst us have special enthusiasm for the mighty TRIP THREE. I mean, primes, and threes, and all that. Anyway, it'll be a minute until we reach episode TRIP FOUR, so let's savour this while we can.

Another episode… that is right. This time it is about games, the reason you come and listen. Or maybe I am wrong. Maybe you come and listen because of the lawn care tips or the surgery stories. Hey, someone we know actually listened just for the gall bladder story.

Plenty of games to get to in this episode, so enjoy and hopefully we will provide some entertainment value for you time spent listening to the podcast.

Generally we here at SVWAG prefer sci-fi to fantasy, especially if it is of the general sort. There is something joyous about the weird flights of fancy that sci-fi can enable, such as Andromeda's Edge with its "Jelluloid Technoblorps." That said, there's something particularly odious about importing generic fantasy into your sci-fi, like space dwarves and space dragons--something Andromeda's Edge also does. Call it a wash.

If you replayed all the published SVWAG episodes back-back, it would take over 355 hours, or almost 15 days. This is not necessarily how we would recommend you spend your time. Indeed, for our purposes, we are equally wrong regardless of whether anyone is there to hear it; while we sometimes engage with Western philosophy due to Mark's academic background, the realm of the koan is beyond our purview. 

Long story short, feel free to re-download all our episodes to your heart's content. I'm sure it would help us with some algorithm somewhere.

I find so many mnemonics to be profoundly disappointing. Unless there's a structural element to tie the components together, a mnemonic will not serve to dispositively disambiguate a dyad. 

I assure you, that lamentable bit of alliteration was unintentional.

For example, "I before E except after C" also works qua slogan as "I after E except before C." There are the ones about beer and liquor, feeding or starving a cold, colour of the sky and sailors' states of mind... I recall the structure, but not which one goes with which. Relatedly, is there a mnemonic to remember how to spell mnemonic?

Solidarity, dear listeners, on this most august September Labour Day. Of course, Labour Day is the labour holiday invented for the US and Canada so as to undermine global solidarity.

Some important editorial notes!

-the game walker mentioned is Völuspá, and no we don't know what work those accents are doing;

-SVWAG does not engage in the eating of seal meat (no one's thought to offer, really);

-we hope that Undaunted 2200: Callisto will follow in Battle of Britain's excellent example of having a badass Sikh pilot.

How do we share some of the games we got at Gen Con without making you listen to us for hour upon hour. We put the 5 Minute Initiative constraint on ourselves. So instead of me breaking down in writing all the games we covered and wasting your time this way, give a listen to those that interest you. The beauty of timestamps.

Thanks for taking the time and hope one of these games might be of interest to you.
