This episode is all about horses. 100 horses. Turns out they’re not a red flag for Megan after all.

We continue on with our PAX East 2016 stories, but focus on Megan screaming just about everywhere: Overwatch, League of Legends, Stage Presence, etc. Seriously, this is Megan’s highlight reel. Listen in to find out how she uses public toilets, and what this photo is about:

Steven’s plans for PAX East are dangled in front of Megan like a juicy worm, and when she bites, I reel her in so hard that she decided after the episode to buy a ticket, schedule a flight, and book a hotel. So ignore what we say in the episode: she is here with me at PAX in Boston right now!

And as mentioned, here are:

We cover tons of ground in this ep, but it can be boiled down to:

  • Megan’s TPA Orianna story, and the Gchat fistpump of celebration
  • The pro gaming apparatus that Steven handmade for Megan
  • Psychoanalyzing what types of stories Steven and Megan like, and how they’re the opposites of their own lives
  • Everyone’s thoughts on Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
  • The Final Fantasy XV:
    • Ultimate collector’s edition ($270)
    • Trailer with Florence + the Machine
      • Steven: “Is this the trailer where Florence + the Machine sings in the second half?
      • Megan: “I don’t even…is that…a person?”
    • Being completely the opposite of what Megan is interested in
      • Steven: “There’s nothing interesting for you – it’s four bros in a car!”
      • Megan: “And I don’t give a sh*t about cars!”
      • Steven: “Well, that was clear in the last episode.”

Let us bring you back to the late 90’s and 2000’s when AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and Neopets were at the height of their popularity!  But we don’t want to shock you with such an abrupt change so quickly, so we’ll gently ease you in by allowing a seed that we planted for you in episode 8 to blossom – the story of Megan’s first girlfriend.  Throughout our travels through time, we’ll:

  • introduce you to “Meganisms,” which are Megan’s butchered versions of popular idioms
  • share some of our favorite quotes, including the origin of, “It’s worth it!”
  • reminisce about old blogging websites
  • sympathize with Megan’s traumatic Neopets experience (but only until she tells us why she deserved what she got)
  • fawn over Steven’s mad swag collecting skillz at the Neopets booth during the New York Licensing Expo
  • take it down to the Little White Church with Rebecca at PAX East 2012

In this episode, we can’t seem to stop talking about handheld games!  We open with a tribute to the late Akira Tago, the Puzzle Master of the Professor Layton games, discuss some of our most memorable moments involving handheld systems, and we finish strong with how an ongoing obsession with fanfiction has shaped Megan into the bo-*ahem* girl she is today.

Topics in between include:

  • How New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the perfect game for anyone with an affinity for in-game collectibles
  • Why Bravely Default is no longer on Megan’s list of tentative games to buy/play
  • A throwback to Dogz and Catz, old PC games that taught Steven valuable life lessons about pet ownership
  • Frizbee’s personal YouTube channel
  • Megan’s coming out story, which were the first steps to her current dream of becoming a world-renowned author of Mamamoo fanfiction

Also, it’s still an open question whether you can make a poop level in Super Mario Maker for the Wii U.
