There was: during the timeline of Reconciliation's founding, they mention that someone raised ethical concerns about all the genocide. So the compromise was that the project would automatically shut down and everyone deleted if the hivemind ever exceeded some threshold of aggression. Adding Beacon to the hivemind triggered that failsafe because he's just that angry.

Ah OK, so Beacon coming into contact with the central hub caused it to absorb Beacon. It kind of sounded like that's what happened but I wasn't sure if there was any basis for them combining other than "science magic".

I'm still not really sure 1. where/how Beacon originated and 2. how it wound up on Earth (did Minerva portal it in through Leo's brain like she did with herself later on?) I guess it doesn't matter but I'd been sort of expecting those questions to be answered in the finale.

PS, it wasn't until one of these very last episodes that I was actually able to correctly picture how Beacon coiled up. I had been imagining a broadsword with the blade rolled up like a Fruit by the Foot, but then Justin said it was based on an urumi and suddenly it all made way more sense. (It seems like Beacon can become rigid like a regular sword though?)

PPS urumis are badass and I can't believe I'd never heard of them before this.

A real hellraiser


It has been for a while. The ones that are like "The food isn't that weird but check out this mildly quirky and copy" can never hold my attention.

One of my favorite Munch squads was from the terrible Atlanta show they never published though. Tim Hortons Sriracha flavored coffee

I always knew I'd die with a headache.

I always groan now when I hear justin start introing it but munch squad somehow is consistently one of the parts of the show I am most entertained by

in conclusion much squad is a podcast within a podcast of contrasts

I feel like Munch Squad should be saved for “Garfield Eats” level nonsense rather than just pretty average “let’s try to be weird for attention” marketing stuff. While I’m sure the fact that it’s being overdone is meant to be a big part of the joke, it’s not a very good joke.

Also does anybody else have the same emotional reaction to Sprite and 7-Up that Travis was describing?

Just the smell of it takes me back to laying in bed with achey joints. I'd reach up and have a drink of flat, hours-old 7-Up, realize my throat still hurt a lot, and then go back to sleep

I’m sorry but I feel like this should be a MUCH bigger deal. I’m still freaking out about it at least.

Anyone who enjoyed TAZ Balance at all should be 1000% on board with this. The boys return to DnD 5e with one of the best DMs in the game right now, high production minis and sets, high production value, plus THB plus Griffin getting to play around in fantasy Honey I Shrunk the Kids world??? January can NOT get here soon enough.

There’s a quick screenshot of the 6 characters near the end of this trailer. (I’d grab it but I’m on mobile) Anybody have any guesses as to who’s playing whom?

The finale was good. I always figured Beacon was an Urumi that also worked like Ivy's sword from Soul Calibur.

Edit: that had a face like the Frank Sinatra Singing Sword from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

I don't know enough about Dimension 20 to know how excited I should be. Is this going to be a one-off thing or a series of videos?

I could be wrong but I was always under the impression that Beacon didn't have an entire face - just a mouth. Which is much worse.

I'm guessing it will be like their Escape from the Bloodkeep series, so 6 episodes around 2 hours each.

yeah I think they're doing these side-projects in like, a couple long days of shooting that can then be drawn out into several episodes (which, i assume, makes it less cost-prohibitive to fly in guests)

Glad Amnesty is over. It just never really worked for me. I did enjoy the finale though, especially Duck’s. Justin is just so drat good at improv. I hope whatever they do next is a little lighter in tone and more fun.

I had a lot of fun! The group of people I went with started the day at everyday noodle for soup dumplings so we got to the venue a bit late but we got there in time for them telling people why Sawbones was cancelled for the night and then we got a really in loose timeline history listen in Shmanners.

I don't know if people want to go in with virgin ears for whenever they upload so I'm gonna spoil the next part??

The tour manager interrupted Haunted Doll Watch mid-justin's sentence with Munch Squad to where you can probably hear Justin point out to Griffin "This isn't me". They had bought 100 of that KFC Donut Sandwich and they all got to try it live on stage.

The non-audience questions were good, but there were 2/3 audience questions out of like the 6 they took that were good but the rest were just they had nothing to work with and it dragged on.
