It’s the end of the world as we know it

At least part of feels like this was the weirdness of the Foodcast with little of the charm. <.< It definitely got better as it went though, between their bickering and the rocket robot statue. I hope they include that particular weirdness in a future Sentinels thing. RPG scenario? :)
The bickering was fun, but I feel that way too much of it was spent on "what, exactly, counts as a doomsday scenario?" which, IMO, should have been determined before they started recording, and also SIGNIFICANTLY lowerend the number of doomsday plots we could have gotten.
That was my only real complaint. And, yeah, LOVE the robot scenario we DID get.
I’d guess they thought they were on the same page and realized as they started that they weren’t entirely.
Yeah, it was about an hour of arguing semantics, 30 minutes of actually coming up with plots.
That was just their unspoken doomsday plot. :V
I’m definitely with Adam on this. Christopher is far too liberal on his use of the word “doomsday”.
Careful, folks -- I think they're trying to tear down the world by starting the biggest, baddest internet argument of all time... 
I didn’t expect that the Kansas City discussion was going to be like the funniest thing I heard all week.
“You don’t use a doomsay device to blow up Albuquerque.”. Clearly Adam has not contemplated the possibility of Iron Bugs Bunny getting vengeance for all those left turns.

The topic of destroying the world multiple times over makes me think of Hecatomb, a collective plastic pentagon card game which I got to love only after it failed as a product, allowing me to get a lot of the cards dirt cheap. The premise of the game is that every game is a parallel Earth, as with SOTM, but with the added detail that the winner of a game destroys the world and moves on to another.
Things like the UN monument are too cool not to be canonical, so I say put it in space, with a planet that’s barely different from an Earth with those five countries and none others of significance.
EMP in the upper atmosphere - why didn’t Schmapocalypse do that in the 2016 Schmex-Men movie?
I really like the idea that one of the Gene Bound races actually successfully thwarted his conquest for years by holding Dok’Thorath hostage with a superweapon. Eventually he gets that defeated, and comes to give them an especially sadistic treatment. I could see either the Ruonef or the Piunites being that.
The nihilistic Spite is clearly just the Cult of Azathoth in Call of Cthulhu. I don’t have to Schmuh that one, it’s public domain.
I’ve heard that drowning is specifically awful in salt water, something to do with the blood brain barrier making it seem to slow down time. Freshwater death supposedly is quicker.
Don’t read too much into how much I like this episode…
