He tries to keep things upbeat but fails miserably.

We talk about both fictional and real-life boogeymen, including the incredibly terrifying Curse of the Technical Difficulties that caused us to lose 30 minutes worth of Podcast.

What obligations do creators have to their fans/customers, and conversely, when do fan expectations become unreasonable?

In the absence of any sort of preparation, good sense, or editing, he revisits No Man's Sky (Hello Games) and discusses the recent discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri.

In this episode of the Podcast, Dr. Ted geeks out with his good friend Gorkem Guduk to talk a little bit (actually a lot) about Star Wars.
