    If you like, like the word like, or like, have like, a thing about like, something that like, like does this or like that, you’ll like, like this and like that.

    Seriously… I don’t understand how someone can say the word “like” so much.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

272. Generic Hate Cards: Good vs Evil
Q: Which Flesh and Blood hero would estrogen save, and which one would estrogen make worse?
Tommy picks Arachne, Marionette as the hero estrogen might help, and Lyath Goldman as the hero it might make worse. Elly agrees about Lyath and suggests Florian for the first part.
272. Generic Hate Cards: Good vs Evil
Q: Why does Flesh and Blood in San Diego suck big donkey balls?
Tommy suggests San Diego may feel like an isolated, small big city, while acknowledging that he has not visited.
271. They're FAI-nally Gone
Q: With five so far heroes hitting LL this season, what do you think the meta looks like? And do you think Mortimer will take a slice of the pie?
Elly expects Cindra, Bolton, Yarl, Levia, and Fang to shape the field, with possible space for Viscerae. She sees potential in Mortimer's engine and disruption but says it needs cards that show how the hero can actually win games.
271. They're FAI-nally Gone
Q: Do my anti-mech beliefs carry over into the mech-plus heroes, or is it only the pure mechs that I dislike? Also, does the pits in Outbreak fit your worldview of Wraith better than Metrix in Bright Lights?
Tommy says his dislike does not extend to Mechanologist heroes with other class elements, and he prefers the underbelly setting of the Pits in Outsiders because of its seedy, crime-ridden atmosphere.
270. Old Heroes? GONE! New Heroes? COMING!
Q: Which heroes are going to be the biggest menace for the upcoming skirmish season?
Elly suggests Aira and Enigma as possible threats in Silver Age, while Tommy also points to Fai and Levia as strong contenders.
