We're hitting the books in this episode to discuss Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation trilogy. Before that, we put the sacred cow out to pasture, as it will become an occasional segment rather than a regular one. However, it goes out with a bang with a discussion of the gamerati and a burger slider about the "controversy" created by comments from a BioWare writer. We're then joined by MAHQ co-founder Dale Rausch for a report on MegaCon 2012. After Foundation, we discuss our Audible picks as well as your voicemails and mailbag questions. If you'd like to check out the Foundation radio drama produced by the BBC, go here (thanks Hyakushiki!). Next time, we're going to dive into a deeper dream level and tattoo important facts on our bodies as we discuss (some of) Christopher Nolan's films!

Since we wrapped up our regular discussions in the last episode, we end 2011 with a special episode devoted to something very near and dear to our hearts: BEER. Yes, you hear us mention in most episodes what beer we're drinking, so we decided to devote an entire episode to beer, while drinking beer and eating chicken. As this is a special episode, there's no What We've Been Up to, no Sacred Cow and no Mailbag. We're joined in this roundtable discussion by Kristina Pino and token non-drinker Cristian Alvernaz. We discuss our experiences with beer, some brews we like and a few recommendations. If this sort of episode doesn't suit your fancy, next time it'll be back to normal. Also, before anyone says anything about it, there are some audio problems in the last segment.

It's been a long delay, but Fairy Tail is finally here! We're joined by Tomopop and Japanator's Kristina Pino to discuss Hiro Mashima's shonen manga and the anime based on it. Before that, we catch up on things and fry up the cow that animation is only for children. As a note, when we recorded this episode, the most recent manga chapter was 251, so the things that happen since then don't factor in. We wrap up as always with your questions in the Mailbag.

Yeah, as you can see from the runtime, we went overboard in this episode. After catching up on what we've been doing, we grill up a sacred cow we've referenced in part before: nostalgia in defense of video game companies. We then introduce a new subsegment, Sacred Cow Burger Sliders, where we revisit the topic of a previous sacred cow. For the first in this occasional segment, we return to last episode's discussion of bloggers and journalists. It definitely gets pretty inside baseball about journalism, so it's not for the weak of heart. After that, we get into an in-depth discussion of the Back to the Future trilogy. After dissecting each of the movies, we talk about some other parts of the franchise, including the cartoon, the Universal Studios ride, the crappy old NES games and the current game from Telltale. Next time, we go back from the future to the past to discuss Fairy Tail. I mentioned long ago that we'd eventually get around to it, so now's the time.

No guests! No supersized episodes! We finally get back down to our regular length as Pedro and I fly solo on a topic that isn't ginormous. We start off with the usual What We've Been Up To, following by Slaying the Sacred Cow of the idea that all bloggers must be journalists. We then dive into a discussion of Jim Butcher's fantasy detective noir series, The Dresden Files. Please be aware that there are deep spoilers for the entire series, including the latest novel, Ghost Story. We cap off the segment with a brief discussion of the ill-fated TV series before answering your questions in the Mailbag. Next time, we're going 88 MPH with a discussion of Back to the Future.

The Doctor is in! Ok, last episode I said that we wouldn't be having such long episodes again in the near future, but I lied! I didn't intend to, but it sort of happens when covering a sci-fi franchise that's almost 50 years old. In a double-packed opening, Dale Rausch joins us to discuss his Doctor Who and Torchwood experiences at Comic-Con. We also slay the sacred cow of assumed political correctness, mainly in regards to black Spider-Man. For our main discussion, Angel De Fana helps us delve into the wide world of Doctor Who, discussing doctors both past and present. Of course, we close the episode with your questions from the Mailbag (and please send more!). Next time, we jump into the fantasy-noir world of Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files.

It's time for another super-sized episode, but this will be the last for the foreseeable future. After catching up on What We've Been Up To, we fry up the sacred cow notion that mobile gaming on phones and tablets will kill all consoles. After that it's time for the main topic, a Super Mario extravaganza. We discuss all the Mario platforming games, from the original Super Mario Bros on the NES all the way up through to Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Wii. We also discuss some of the sports spinoffs, along with Mario Kart, the original Super Mario RPG and its own two spinoffs, Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. Next time, we're hanging out in a blue box that's bigger on the inside with a discussion of Doctor Who.

Runtime: 2:23:13 - 2:37:45

Chaos Theater is back with our biggest episode yet! And before you ask, no, we're not going to be going to Gundamn-like lengths from this point on (well, maybe the next too, but that's it!). In a first, both the sacred cow and our main topic are about the same thing: Star Trek. For the main topic, we examine all 11 feature films, from the original 1979 snoozefest up to the 2009 J.J. Abrams reboot. Next time, we're going to hop onto a warp pipe for a trip down to the Mushroom Kingdom to discuss the Super Mario games.

Music Featured in this Episode:
"Boing Zoom DAKOTA!" from Rock Candy 1 by Shadow

Yep, it's been awhile. What happened to the April episode? Well, we recorded this in April (in fact, on the same day as episode 0 of Laplace's Box). What happened? Schedules, and audio problems. Quite a few audio problems, so be aware of that going in. This time, Gundamn's Soul Bro Ryu joins us to wax illogical about Star Trek: The Animated Series. We also introduce a new segment, Slaying the Sacred Cow, which will skewer things that people hold in too high a regard. Our inaugural cow is Final Fantasy VII, and you can expect to see many more cows barbequed in the future. Next time, we turn our focus back to video games with a discussion of the classic Super NES RPG, Chrono Trigger.

Chaos Theater is back, and things go just as planned this time... until they don't! As you'll hear in the episode, we had to record the show twice due to a software hiccup. Fun times, folks. This time we discuss Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic, The Wheel of Time. Aside from that, you'll get our two regular segments, What We've Been Up To and the Mailbag. Next time, Chaos Theater starts doubling up with two episodes per month. We'll head into the final frontier of animation with Gundamn's Soul Bro Ryu to discuss Star Trek: The Animated Series.

You'll probably notice that this episode is not what we promised last time. Due to some issues, we were forced to push back Fairy Tail to a later episode. Instead, we take an in-depth look at Eiichiro Oda's shonen masterpiece, One Piece. Our guest is Cristian Alvernaz, a longtime One Piece fan who you might have heard pop up in past live Gundamn! episodes. Also, apologies in advance for some of the sound, as we had some issues with a headset. Our audio issues will be sorted out by the next episode. Next time, we tackle Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson's epic fantasy saga, The Wheel of Time.
