To celebrate the week of giving thanks, Andrew and Dan decide to delve into the pits of despair and discuss the world of post-apocalyptic fiction.

Week in Geek: Andrew plays Rogue Legacy while Dan reads a book titled, Console Wars.

Mild Nepotism: Dan interviews his Josh Tobey, an old friend and painter whom Dan was able to recruit to draw a short story for his webcomic, Long John. In this segment, they discuss Josh's approach to art in general––his process and his theory.

Discussion: What better way to be thankful for what you have by engaging in fiction that emphasizes what you don't have––welcome to the Post-Apocalypse. Please leave your humanity at the door.

Fantasy Post-Apocalypse: In which Dan and Andrew look at this interesting and increasingly populr sub-genre of the Post-Apocalyptic framework that examines what happens when worlds that don't exist end.

Things seems lightly off in this alternate/parallel reality-themed episode. However, the show must go on, evil goatee or not.

Week in Geek: Andrew peruses the lesser Star Wars movies for trivia and finds some newly poignant scenes while Dan plays Shovel Knight on his WiiU and Terra Battle on his phone.

Original the Series: Taking another look into the original Star Trek series, this week Dan and Andrew watch the classic episode, "Mirror, Mirror," to great effect. Goatees and gold sashes!

Discussion: Having watched "Mirror, Mirror," the idea of parallel or alternate realities, as they're presented in various fictions, seemed to be the right avenue for discussion this week, and they certainly go all over the place.

Breaking News: With this week's announcement of popular American tabletop game designers, Fantasy Flight Games, merging with major European tabletop distributor, Amogee, Dan asks the podcast's resident tabletop guru what this means for tabletop fans.

For All Intents and Purposes has hit the quarter-centennial mark! That is, if by "centennial" we mean a hundred episodes rather than a hundred years. However, is it going to be a celebration...or a crisis?! To find out, you'll have to listen! Do you dare?!

Week in Geek: Andrew watches more Star Wars: Rebels while Dan buys his first Nintendo home console in what is likely over two decades.

Star Trek: Taking another dip into the Original Series, this time Dan and Andrew watch and discuss the classic "I, Mudd" featuring everybody's favorite scallywag, Harcourt Fenton Mudd.

Discussion: As if it's a big surprise, with Series 8 of Doctor Who––the first featuring Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor––having come to an end, they discuss not only the final episode (SPOILER ALERT), but Series 8 as a whole and its place in the oeuvre of Doctor Who.

The Art of the Season Finale: With the closing of Doctor Who in mind, Andrew and Dan discuss season finales in general. Specifically, they discuss what they are and what they have been and how and why they've changed over time.

It's the first post-October episode. Instead of focusing on a month of thanks, it's just business as usual.

Week in Geek: Andrew plays some more Civilization: Beyond Earth and also finally gets his mitts on a copy of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS. Dan, on the other hand, talks about the new album from his newest favorite band, Dawnbringer, called Night of the Hammer. \m/

30 Years of Busting Ghosts: As children of the '80s, Dan and Andrew decide that this is as good a time as any to discuss why Ghostbusters is still so amazing.

Ladies Second?: Speaking of Ghostbusters, with the recent announcement of a likely all-female reboot of Ghostbusters––as well as the troubled all-female Expendables spinoff, The Expendabelles––Andrew and Dan discuss this very interesting version of the reboot––recasting nerdy franchises with a completely female cast. They discuss the pros and cons and the possibilities as well as any pitfalls that could come with such decisions.

The Master and The Mistress: As Series 8 of Doctor Who draws to a close, Dan and Andrew discuss one of the Doctor's most famous and notorious adversaries––The Master! Consider this discussion a primer for all things Master, just in case you need it.
