Overly Sarcastic Productions

Nice to see the Deptford Mice books get a shout-out in that video. I read those dark fantasy books when I was younger and really enjoyed them. It's one of those "How did they get away with this in a kids' book?" stories.

Do be warned that Red does drop a fairly major spoiler of the first book if you ever plan on reading the books blind.

I actually read Scurry when it was coming out. I'm honestly surprised Red did too.

There was an RPG that came out somewhat recently that follows this very, trope Small Saga. If you guys like a mixture of Redwall meets Berserk, might be a look into.

Magic The Gathering is also doing this theme for a set later this year, Bloomburrow◊

Dramatic Irony Cosmic Horror is basically Red's more academic sounding name for Humans Are Cthulhu. I think she's kept the scope a little narrow on this episode, this might be reading the title too literally but stuff like Bambi play with this trope and the characters there aren't all that small. Still she did a fantastic job of articulating why Humans Are Cthulhu works really well, at least to me.

aka the far away destination

In today's Fables and Folktales, Red talks about Yuki-Onna:

Poor Λευκάδιε.

In today's History Summarized, Blue talks about the Leaning Tower of Pisa:

Red talks about the Last of Their Kind trope. Shoutout to R.O.B. in Smash.

R.O.B.? The robot based on the NES robot buddy peripheral? R.O.B. got a tragic backstory? R.O.B. got a backstory?

Yes. Tabuu forced all the ROB's to bomb the world so it could be part of Subspace, and the main ROB became the supplier of the bombs as the Ancient Minister. He begrudgingly went along with the plan until Ganondorf, seeing an opportunity to take out a good chunk of the opposing fighters, forced them to bomb the place they were in. ROB tried to stop it but he was unsuccessful. By the end, the only remaining ROB was himself.

In today's History-Makers, Blue talks about Sun Tzu and The Art of War:

I do like the line "Cherrypicked quotes are the enemy of wisdom" cause oh man is that the truth.

Is there anything corporate folks won't misinterpret as business advice, though? ^note  I found out recently that "Mein Kampf" is apparently being treated as a self-help book among Indian business students, for example :|

"Make a quality product at a fair price". Sorry I was thinking of AAA game studios.

"Good employees are worth more money and benefits."

The entirely of Tortoise and the Hare

Corporate Executives and Shareholders, in a stunning recreation of the "No Take, Only Throw" meme: "Pls make money? No spend!! ONLY MAKE"

In today's Detail Diatribe, Red and Blue are talking about being Batman is a curse or a choice:

the answer is both a curse blessing curse

wonder if this was made for Zurr and Failsafe

A 'blurse', if you will.

who are those?
