Can games be balanced? Sort of.
Balancing games is deceptively difficult. Even worse, there are subtle reasons why even if a game is perfectly, mathematically, demonstrably balanced, players will likely have even LESS fun. From #PAX South 2018!
We also did a “Final Thoughts” on Trigun in 2007. Full spoilers and assuming you’ve seen the original show! I expect we’ll review the new Trigun for a compare & contrast before too long. Trigun Final Thoughts
If you’re watching the new Trigun, know that the original Trigun was one of the first anime we reviewed on GeekNights back in 2006! Trigun Review
Tonight on GeekNights, we review the 1993 anime movie Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama. It's long, and there are fighter jets. YMMV on this one, but if you enjoy Dynasty Warriors it might be for you. Also Hanuman is OP. In the news, the live-action sequel to Whisper of the Heart will be in theaters February 3. Shin Ultraman is exactly what you'd expect.
GeekNights will be live this evening ~5:30pm ET we will be reviewing the Ramayana anime from 1993! Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama
Disco Elysium isn’t just living rent-free in my head. I built it an apartment and I’m paying it to stay there.
Tonight on GeekNights, Rym is back from his ski trip, so we resume our regularly scheduled shows with a review of online advertising and adtech. In the news, the Department of Justice is seeking to break up Google in some trust busting over online advertising and tech layoffs foretell difficult times ahead.
David DePape is the true face of the modern Republican Party. With the mask off, they are nothing more than election-denying fascists.

GeekNights will be back from hiatus and talking about adtech tomorrow (Monday) ~5:30pm ET!
There have been 6 mass shootings in California alone in the last 13 days. Fuck the Second Amendment.
Vail is a hell of a place to ski. Over five days I got 88 runs across 141 miles descending 124k feet.
Ph33r.
Still skiing ;)
Another day another mass shooting with what looks to be yet again an AR-15.
Ban guns. Seize them. Repeal the second amendment.
The French know how to Organize
Talk about an artifact from an ancient time! #Ubercon was where I discovered #BurningWheel! GeekNights was still in its infancy. This was the last of the “North Jersey Gaming Cons” we’d attend long long ago.
The attacks on Democratic officals' homes were by a Republican who lost his election. He hired four accomplices. This is terrorism plain and simple.

Pour one out for a legend. 13 years of hard dancing.
What a sunset to return to!
I always enjoy my time in Frankfurt, rain and cold nonwithstanding. But it will be good to be home!
I now return from Frankfurt!
George Santos must resign from Congress. Even the GOP is demanding his resignation. When even the fascists are embarassed by your scam… www.youtube.com/watch
No GeekNights this week, as I am in Frankfurt for work ;)
There is no such thing as a “moderate” Republican. They all want the same thing: fascism. They will tell different stories about why they want it and what the specifics are. But they’re all fascists. Treat them as such.
The Republicans have caused a constitutional crisis. Our congress is paralyzed by their dysfunction. www.cnn.com/politics/…
