Adam Vass and Will Jobst discover that for every thing, there is an anti-thing. Matter. Malls. Games designers. We chat about reinvention, kickstarter peeves, and wonder why you were nodding along in the first place. Adam looks at the katamaris (the game of cousins), the long view of one’s catalog, and gets ready to wrap up the Cobwebs kickstarter (while previewing what’s to come). Will anatomizes the anti-designer, and then becomes it. They also hack up a lung and think about that nice western doctor, that they’re gonna just go ahead and google the name of right now. Dr. Amos "Doc" Cochran. Ye-haw. Adam and Will both chat about the future of the show, and the shape of the Brain Trust to come!

They both chat about a Guide to Casting Phantoms in the Revolution and hint toward a mysterious break in the episode. Huh.
