    Episode 020: One, Two, Five!

    Tonight we prove the intellecual capacity of Ryan and his inability to not count beyond three. In fact we just go over this again and again and again. Bring a glass of water or booze kids, this ones a little dry! We promise though, there is lots and lots of L5R talk in here. In fact quite possibly more than usual.

    Episode 019: And in first place, Mr. Chiribogay!

Complete with ramblings and musings on both Irvine AND Vegas, along with Jesse finally talking Crane and Ryan's victory dance for finally winning something. Also discussed is the tournament environment in general and our thoughts on the new cut system.
