Live from the MCU!!!: Episode Four - I Hate It When An Evil Plan Never Comes Together

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Do you like nuclear bombs? And flooding of major cities? And endless planning sessions with no resolution? How about two bickering old supervillains who cannot agree on anything? If so, then boy oh boy, will you love this episode!

 In this episode, CraigMakk and Serious Jest accomplish very little, argue about a whole lot, advance the story an amount that can only be measured in micro-steps, and weirdly venture into the always friendly topic of politics. Luckily they have some pretty incredible beers to pass the time. Sorry for the complete waste of time, Minister of Gaming JimSardonic...you tried your best. So strap in, grab a beer of your own, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"

                                                   
Beer(s) of the Show: Founders Backwoods Bastard Bourbon Barrel-Aged Scotch Ale, Evil Genius Purple Monkey Dishwasher Chocolate Porter, and Kentucky Cream Ale.

Live from the MCU!!!: Episode Three - Stark Raving Mad

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" You've seen Heat. You've seen Ocean's Eleven. Maybe you've even seen the other Ocean's movies (Although I cannot imagine why. The first one was perfect. And don't get me started on that all-female cast one. Why not just make something completely new instead of shamelessly capitalizing on the star power of Danny Ocean? That really just seems sexist to me). This is absolutely nothing like any of those movies.

In this episode, Fah-Q and The Stalker desperately fight off diarrhea, get peed on in a public bathroom, stare at elevator doors for far longer than anyone should, and use incredibly dated wrestling taglines in an attempt to intimidate harmless scientists. These guys are criminal masterminds. Oh, and they also plan a heist. Sort of. You'll just have to listen for yourself. But don't make the mistake returning GameMaster Jim did, and bring water to a beer fight. That's just insane. So grab yourself a beer, strap in, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Do you like meetings? How about scientists? What about bathroom brawls?? If so, then do we have the episode for you!!! (Please stay...it gets awesome.)

We welcome Jim back to the party, where he somehow finds a way to make board room meetings slightly less boring than they are in real life. Also, he's a scientist, so I don't know, whatever, man. He's a great story teller. So get ready to hear all the Heat-style heist planning in it's glory, all while the guys drink a whole bunch of beers. It's decided, RPG's are great. So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"

Welcome to Live from the MCU!!!, an obvious and blatant rip-off of pretty much everything that is culturally relevant these days. Do you like tabletop gaming? Here it is! Do you like superheroes? No problem! Do you like listening to grown men playing childish games on the internet while drinking beers? You came to the right place!! (Although you should really rethink your hobbies...)

Every good superhero (or supervillain) needs a great origin story...why not listen to the ManCave guys try to build one of their own with a "seasoned" GM all while enjoying a beer or five? Say a warm welcome to Jim Sardonic, who tries his best to teach the guys how not to screw this whole thing up. So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome to the mighty origin of "Live from the ManCave Universe!!!"

Episode 26 Part Two: Caution, Angry Gamers

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" If you thought the guys were a bunch of nerds before, wow, are you in for a rude awakening. They couldn't geek out any more if they tried. It's a miracle they actually suckered women into having kids with them.

In this part two episode, the guys really dig into the whole mixed media thing by expanding their entertainment horizons. You'll learn about how Google sucks at naming their "non-porn" video sites, and then you'll hear a WHOLE lot about video games. And goblins. And superheroes. And mythological demigods. And robots. And 14th century Czechoslovakian women (yeah, I was confused as well...). Plus stay tuned for some sweet multiplayer gaming options to safely kill your friends in. And stick around for the beer, because you know they'll mention that a few hundred times. Seriously, they might actually have a problem. So grab a beer, strap in, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

In this part one episode, you'll hear all about the best episode they ever recorded that you'll never get to hear. Seriously, computers are the worst. But in the meantime, they have plenty of new stuff to talk about. Still interested in hearing about all things Walking Dead? You better be, because boy, does one of the guys want to talk a whole lot about it. And you REALLY better like hearing about comic book movies, because someone sure does want to tell you ALL about them! And if you're really lucky, you might even hear the guys tell you how to stick it to the theaters and still see movies on the big screen for next to nothing. Oh, and all while enjoying some pretty great beers. Because, you know, they really like beer. So grab yourself a beer of your own, strap in, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode Twenty-Five Part Two - Two Floaters Hang in a Bar

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The guys are ready to move on to part two of their relaunch format, but one of them really needs a cup of coffee first. Don't worry, I'll let you guess who.

In part two, the guys bring back a famous bit from the old days, and run through a bunch of fall and winter movies and TV shows they are anticipating. You'll find out pretty quickly if they think it's a floater or they'll drink to it, but apparently one of them wants to drink to everything...literally. Anyway, get ready for a quick little bit-sized segment, but make sure you grab a beer, strap in, and get ready for "Live from the ManCave!!!"
