Episode 318 – Talisman, the Splendor of Delirious Rowdy Grains

Shane Welin is back and we cover some of our favorite board games including Splendor (1:41), Talisman (4:00), Space Alert and Star Wars Risk (6:40). Excalibur and Captain Britain? Of course we talk about it! (10:47) One of the legendary Keycon moments was the whole grain skit between Shane and SeanGeek. So just what was that skit exactly and why do they still talk about it? (17:22) Many of us grew up on the comedy that was Eddie Murphy’s Delirious and the jokes contained within that legendary standup comedy has been ingrained in all of our daily lives. The three talk about the indelible impression it left on them. (18:49) Shane’s connection to the show was his old show Rum Powered Reviews which saw Shane reviewing his vast collection of toys. But it doesn’t stop there. Shane shares some memorabilia items he has. (20:52) We also talk gaming and music through the pandemic, and how using Zoom or other related programs just isn’t the same. (27:04). We get into Shane’s current campaign and (hope his players are not listening) spoils the big twist in it. (33:28). This spills into SeanGeek’s own trope that he uses in all of his games that started with El Tigre, and followed along in every campaign with El Tigre’s creator: the Tori Spelling trope. (40:37) Just what is Shane working on these days? Meet Sham, Shane’s new creation (41:42). We discuss Shane’s most prized piece of memorabilia and just what happened with his action figure collection?

Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.
