Jeremy: Well! We have all flown home safely from Midwest Gaming Classic \u201926, and boy are our arms tired! Because we were carrying a bunch of gear and stuff around all weekend, of course. What, do you think we flew home by flapping our arms? Pfft.

This episode encapsulates not one but two* of the presentations we, uh, presented last weekend. Talk about hot off the presses!

First, we have Team Retronauts (myself, Diamond, Nadia) exploring the 30th anniversary of the greatest* RPG of all time. Which could we mean? Well, there are three candidates this time. And in the end, you, by which I mean the \"you\" that were present at the panel, decided for us from the list of options.

Next up, Diamond and friends explain why \"survival horror\" is just a made-up word. A load of chicanery, really. Pure nonsense.

Please enjoy the talks! And come out and see us next year! Heck, don't even wait that long. Come see us at Long Island Retro Expo in a few months.

*(I also presented a solo talk, but it was a little too visually-focused to really work as an audio podcast! Sorry about that!)
