John and I had meant to do a few more of these lists shows this past year, but sadly that didn't happen. We did manage to do this one in which we wax philosophical on a few of our favorite villains. These are villains that would appear on both of our top 10 lists along with a bonus villain from each of us that doesn't appear on the others list. 

But first:

Divinity Original Sin: This game has consumed many hours of my free time, and will consume many more hours. It's a grind, it can be difficult, but damned if it isn't a satisfying game. If you like old school CRPG's with turned based tactical combat then I recommend you pick this up. 

Valerian Trailer: I'm not going to say much about this other than.... WATCH!



John talks about the book The Worst of Evils: The Fight Against Pain. It's a fascinating look at pain and how it's been viewed and treated through out history. 

He also talks about Deeply Dapper Beard Oil, which is a shop located in Pocatello Idaho and has a wide variety of fun stuff for sale on their site. John is a really big fan of their beard oil, enough to talk about it on the show. They have flasks, soaps, posters and stickers and a variety of other items for sale. 

Villains:
Those we've already discussed:

Mason Savoy: Chew [Episode 5: Chew]
Kilgrave: Jessica Jones [Episode 15: Jessica Jones]
Bill Cipher: Gravity Falls [Episode 32: Gravity Falls]

And two that haven't showed up on the podcast... yet. 
Nox: Wakfu
Scorpio: FarScape

John's bonus villain is Toffee from Star vs. The Forces of Evil

And my villain is Queen Ileosa from Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path

And of course... we had another brilliant edition of John's Bad Advice!

As big gamers and fans of the comics it's no suprise that John and I would be interested in a game based off of Chew. Check out this review for the game from Board Game Brawl.

John and I have a long rambling conversation about the comic Chew. It's not for the faint of heart, the comic that is, not our conversation.

For the uninitiated Chew is a comic by John Layman and Rob Guillory about an FDA agent Tony Chu who is a cibopathic, which means he has the ability to see the past of anything he eats. The comic is full of cannibalism, people with strange food powers, alien fruit that tastes like chicken and a fighting rooster named POYO!

The movie is in the works and David Tennant has been confirmed to play Mason Savoy.
