Steve checks out Fowl Language, Jason comes up with excuses, and together they check in on the relatively new comics, Solstoria and Camp Weedonwantcha. Also, the lack of responsive design representation in the webcomics community has Jason climbing the walls. Adapt or die!

Jason catches up with Superfogeys, Steve descends for a quick peek of Hadez (like Hell, but more rad), and together they get the gist of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s Apprentice and Stand Still, Stay Silent. Enjoy the silly adventure while avoiding a global pandemic along with us!

The Midshow Break
From listening to our ramblings (which aren’t currently available, so ignore this completely), you’ll know that I’m terrible, in that I look at my Amazon Wish List and ask it to show me what has already been purchased. In doing so, I know that the new Legend of Zelda on 3DS (an addition to one of the greatest games of all time, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) is coming to me eventually. However, I do not have it in my possession yet.
For this reason, I am including a remix from that game as our midshow break. Because if I have to suffer, so do you.

The Midshow Break
In honor of Mighty No. 9 (spiritual successor to Mega Man) and it’s already incredibly successful Kickstarter, I’ve included some tunes from The Blue Bomber’s second (and likely best) outing, as our midshow music.

Few episodes take care of themselves as well as this one. Everything kind of falls into place and the segments just find their way, usually led by a webcomic or two. Our only news mention is of Table Titans (3:50), and the only news to note is that Twitter can be an awesome tool sometimes. I mentioned that the responsive design (web design term, Google it) for the site was breaking the viewing experience at certain dimensions to Scott Kurtz. Then, later that evening, I was going back and forth with whoever runs the Table Titans Twitter account.
Our featured comics for Whatcha Been Readin’ are both notable, one for its creator, and the other for its title.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Mega Man 2 (widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time), The Gameological Society (a sister site to The A.V. Club, itself a sibling to The Onion) did an entire day’s worth of content dedicated to the Blue Bomber. With the opening theme to the game shallowly leaping its way into my heart, I figured I could hunt down a remix for this week’s break. This one is brought to us by DaddyCat and features dubstep (10:37). Yep, another one.
Our Horizons are set on two promising up-and-comers:
Even the Rambletron rolls along, like a well-oiled, junky machine. Fueling its tanks this week: G.I. Joe PSAs, Star Trek is the same as Star Wars, Jason is a terrible hype man, Steve harbors some dark, furry secrets, and honestly, we really don’t care what you smell.
