This was difficult for me to watch without thinking of my grandfather. Probably the ad he saw that made him so excited for “Broken Bow”.

I’m not even a Magic player and I can’t wait to try out the Welcome Decks.

I am currently experiencing a issue with my coffee subscription service MistoBox. They recently had a website upgrade (the announcement included AI in it) and parts of the site are broken. I’m currently past my next order date with no confirmed coffee. I’m highly frustrated as a long time subscriber (years) and considering switching to Trade Coffee.

Directors Timour Gregory and Sasha Schneider are going to have a panel at STLV. I want them to sign my copy.

Have you ever mixed up episode titles to a degree that the stories would be humorous if the titles were swapped? For a long time I confused “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” and “Miri”. Imagine if there was an episode about kids turning into robots or a a virus that made robots act like kids.
