We start off with a  bit of chat about the latest Minecraft update, and what we think of llamas, and how games in general are updated. Josh plays Dwarf Fortress and watches the musical television series Galavant! Ryan discovers a new all-time favourite in Reanimator (1985 film). Ryan also finishes off his beloved Facebook game Avengers Alliance, and watches the end credits of the game.

We start the podcast off with some banter about learning to draw. How even if all you can draw is stick figures, that's a place to start. Then Ryan talks about another Buccaneer Days' Festival in Esquimalt, and we talk about the design of theme parks, roller coasters, and carnival rides. Then we talk about Disney Infinity shutting down, and segue into a conversation about the ephemeral nature of online games, and a comparison to the carnival. Our main topic this week is about a story concerning a battle in a graveyard that involved 200 people. From there we examine the nature of death and memory, what to do with dead bodies, ethnicity, gang violence, government corruption, religion, and whether or not this story qualifies as weird enough.
