Show agenda: Blackaddar x Warhammer 40k crossover fan fiction, Fan Mail, Nerdy News covering LOTR TV show, EA and Battlefront 2, and Star Wars movies and show, Top 5 Video Game songs

Ben opens the show with a Blackadder Warhammer 40k crossover. Set in a world war one setting, space marines are waiting for sisters to come and help them wipe out some heretics - or something like that. How faithfully can the author capture the essence of Rowin Atkinson's and Hugh Laurie's characters in the 40k universe? Turnip mine fields and towel covered boots await! * *

Brandon discusses the first hate mail the show has received, when "Cool Seb" contacts the show to tear apart our analysis of Yu-Gi-Oh. He and his partner also played along with our Music Challenge, so we can crown a current listener champion.

Nerdy News discusses two very exciting segments, and one soul crushing one. With news that both Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are getting new TV shows what concerns do the boys have about their execution? We discuss the plots the each could cover, and the show formats we would like to see. On the other end of the spectrum, the panels blood boils when discussing the latest limits EA are pushing micro-transactions in the new Battlefront game. Spoiler alert: Do not buy this game.

Finally, Brandon closes out the show with his Top 5 Video Game Songs. Some completely expected entries on the list, some slightly lesser known ones. With Brandon and Seb growing up on so many of the same games it becomes quite a trip down memory lane.
