Iteration 082 - Fakeumentary and Machinical Magicery

Direct download link is here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/thesimulationist/Iteration_082_-_Fakeumentary.mp3

We invent the terms podcastahedron and agentific. Josh finally watches The Desolation of Smaug.
Somehow we end up talking about the next Star Wars movies. Ryan and Josh discuss their creative
projects. Ryan reports on History Channel's Cryptid the Swamp Beast, and asks why it's a
fakumentary instead of a traditional drama. Then, machines versus magic, magic versus technology.

Iteration 081 - Disconnected Dots

Direct download link is here: http://traffic.libsyn.com/thesimulationist/Iteration_081_-_Disconnected_Dots.mp3

In this iteration, Josh Treleaven and Ryan Kirkby talk about the new D&D episode of Community, and a bit about Josh's game design work, some conspiracies, and the Cthulhu Mythos. And for our main topic, we discuss the absurd and seemingly random elements of fiction, such as the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Batman. We tease out the essential difference between the Joker and the Riddler.
