A collection of myopic, self-celebrated nonsense. Join siblings Kelly and Ken et al. as they and theirs talk about the finer things and challenge each other to new experiences ("Homework"). Topics include childhood nostalgia, geek culch, vidya review, and the occasional tabletop game run. Currently featuring: "Let's Play Giantslayer!", which pits the gang against a particularly exciting (and cruel) Pathfinder Adventure Path.
