We're running a bit behind due to a number of complications - health, tech, vacations, etc. So this month, enjoy a quick rerun of an all-time favorite episode.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

The boys are zipping and flying into the miasma with games expert himself, Willem Delventhal. We get into the world of Miyazaki’s Nausicaa Valley of the Wind where we talk about pollution and keeping violence out of your problem solving. On top of everything we find out that Higgins is terrible at video games, but also maybe a good gauge of what a game developer is looking for. Dive on in on your glider and see what other nonsense we get into!

Join the team in this episode as we dive into Zoe Thorogood's compelling graphic novel 'The Impending Blindness of Billy Scott,' delving into themes of art, resilience, and self-discovery through the journey of a young artist facing impending blindness.

By far, one of our most compelling and interesting reads, and with special guest - the OG, Snoop Lynch.

As always, we carry ourselves through the episode with our favorite book-worthy spirits, and we discuss some additional bits and pieces here and there, including AI, games, and our usual randomness. So, sit back, grab your drink, relax, and enjoy our little, drunk, ranked, chaotic book club.

Remember, subscribers (and voters for any of the active battles) are auto-enrolled in our new monthly raffle, where you can win studio merch, books, comics, games, and more.

As always, if it can be read, it can be reviewed, and it can be done so with a fancy spirit at hand! Cheers!

In this episode, the team shares behind-the-scenes insights from the development of the first draft of the Icarus game—free to try on itch.io—and teases the debut comic and upcoming novel. We discuss the creative process behind complex characters, the art style inspired by manga, and the innovative ways this project bridges storytelling mediums. We also briefly discuss some of the inspirations for the comic, the results of our second battle of the genres, and...Higgins picks his nose!

It was a short read with a lot of progress and potential, and some extra bits and pieces. Listen in, sit back, and grab a drink - we're going in!
