Not just an ignominious start, that’s flat harrowing!
A charlie horse so bad it leaves bruises? D: Oh my god, do not want!
The Seer! XD
Adam warned us yesterday there was a segment that was just a list of villains, and it would be boring and Trevor might not even leave it in, but I’m glad he did, this is very useful and not boring at all. 
Epi-who-now???
Hm, doesn’t Prospect basically have Parse’s powers then?
I remembered Tightrope! 
Ray’s Eraser! He’s back!
That is a lot of villains, holy butt.
Okay, that explains why I can never picture Antimox when they talk about him, good to know.
They were involved in the fight, and don’t call him Shirley! XD
So the Gluenion is stronger when they stick together, yeah?
Baseball bats? 
Those will never work!
They’re like the Cult of Gluin’ or something.
Yo, Plague Rat Aeon Men, that’s rad af 
Oh, there are remnant FILTER factions in the RPG? I’ll have to remember that if I ever run my game again…
I had to rewind that last WalkingTarget question, that is wild!
Wow, Count Barzok is a dick! :V Who knew?
Oblivaeon, who is bigger than a breadbox…
iGuy, the i stands for “intrusive”.
Can Guise be fascinated by a piece of cheese?
That question for 300 episodes would get me to stop listening. XD
I had to leave with like 15 minutes left in the recording, so I can’t quite sum up my thoughts. What an episode! What a nice, round number!

Was Necrosis or Doctor Toxica mentioned for the villains? If so, I missed them.
i don’t think so
This is pretty definitely going to be the podcast’s crescendo…there’s no way they topped it in only 4.5 more months of episodes.
“The final form of Nerd is Noel T” - does that mean that all along he was actually Neltrd or Nerltd or Nlterd, but they just said it Nerd because there’s No LT?
Good without evil to oppose can easily still have motivation, but struggles to maintain a sense of urgency. You can write stories with no conflict, but a professional writer is unlikely to meet deadline every month if there’s no conflict driving him to crank out quick, easy stories of someone opposing someone or something else. Making stories interesting without the easy crutch if antagonism is going to be harder and take longer, but I firmly believe it can be done. I’ve enjoyed stories that have no conflict in them, it’s not impossible, but it is probably a far more limited “color space” than if you add the extra shades of struggle.
“The stars can be their own torment”…well, they certainly were for the Pepper Genie.
Randomly went back to listen to this one, and the “thinly veiled fetish” letter gave me a thought. As Christopher says, “I don’t think Guise is very horny. He’s not never horny, it does come up, but not often.” I would go further than that. I think Guise is one of those guys who finds his libido embarrassing. He’s into women, but he’s not “into” being into women; he has higher priorities in life than chasing skirts, and is annoyed with himself when the urge to chase skirts results in him being led astray from something he was more interested in trying to do. If he heard about, like, a banana-bread baking contest (this would likely be in the Joseph King era, when it’s a more normal thing for him to be eating food), and he was really excited to go there and sample a bunch of different banana bread recipes, and he got to chatting with the woman who won the #3 prize but in his opinion her recipe was the best, and she made a pass at him and they went to bed together, I feel like he’d probably spend the next morning kicking himself for having been the usual loser guy who just has to have sex when he gets the chance. He would have wished he’d been more respectful of her and connected with her just as a person instead, and now she’s only going to think of him in terms of the hookup, and be yet another person who doesn’t respect him. (Almost nobody does respect Guise, and he doesn’t act in a way that would garner respect, but I do think he regrets this and wishes he could earn respect from others, he just doesn’t know how and isn’t willing to make the changes that would move him in such a direction, because there are other things he’s more powerfully motivated by. The Rule of Funny, above all of these).
