Detectives, Detectors, and Detectoring

Ryan went to the theatre and Nate found another way to injure himself. After that, Nate forced Ryan to have yet another Calpis soda.

Afterwards, they talk about some of the more memorable detectives before turning their attention to the main media, where they addressed vampire heraldry, female dwarves, and half-baked golems in the Terry Pratchett book, Feet of Clay.

Rockets, Martians, and a terrible lack of communication.

Then, Nate and Ryan turn their attention to the main media, The Martian Contingency, where they discussed the importance of good communication, cultural context, some examples of Chekhov's gun that may as well have been a cannon.

As we continue to seek the truth in all things and the inane details within everything, Ryan attempts to bring us the least educational of educational games. He has brought together old "favorite" contestants Keith, Nate, Shi, and Terence as they attempt to out-nerd each other in pedantic details with the 1.0 version of the game Technically Correct.
