I laughed at loud at Brendon's unfortunate HANS experience. It's a good device and a good design; however, if you haven't been prompted for "so you can only turn your head 10 degrees to the left and 10 degrees to the right, GOOD LUCK!", I can t really fault anyone for having a less than great experience with it.

loved the episode but as a "going down" die-hard i had to comment on the fact that you neglected to consider one of the first and best games about descending: lunar lander.

yeah, I (brandon) was not aware of that going in! freaked me the heck out. I wound up keeping pace with everyone pretty well but there was one dude who was dangerously trying to lap everyone and at first I was like "wow I must not be great at this" but then I saw that guy afterward SHRIEKING at his family like "did you fuckin see that!? I lapped all those fuckin guys fuck yeah!" and he was pumping his fist and jumping around and he was like 50 years old. Then I thought... well I'd rather place last than be that guy, or be in that guy's family.

Tim probably would've suggested Lost Vikings as a good three player game

Hey thanks for tagging this! Man, stuff like Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Autechre and Fennesz were the only thing I used to listen like 10-15 years ago. I remember going for a walk to the local bookstores in La Laguna on cloudy days while listening to Boards of Canada and it was pretty great. So yeah, thanks for reigniting those memories!
