Underperforming For Years
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong> <!-- wp:paragraph --></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>OUR SECOND FINAL EPISODE:</strong> After over a month (hell, almost two months), and a lot of discussion and, yes, even one <strong>failed</strong> attempt, our hosts return! However, they bring with them the news that <strong>this episode will be the final regular episode</strong> of A Podcast [ , ] For All Intents and Purposes. After eleven years, priorities have changed and, you know, things have changed that caused our hosts to reconsider their priorities and take inventory.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It isn't good-bye, necessarily. They have the tools to reconvene whenever they want, but it won't be on a regular schedule. So, our hosts make their last official recording a chance to reflect, discuss, and confirm that they never became more than your 14th source for all nerdy and geeky news and discussion.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>WEEK IN GEEK:</strong> Our hosts decide to end as they began with their respective Weeks in Geek. This week, Andrew finally begins watching season two of the Disney+/Star Wars show, Andor, while D. Bethel gets lost in the beauty and poetic carnage of Ghost of Yotei.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:</strong> This show has been a genuine product of two old friends needing an excuse (before realizing they didn't need an excuse) to hang out every week and have overly-thoughtful conversations about nerdy and geeky things. However, our road has been paved by a variety of souls that were kind enough to lend their personalities and discussion to our uploads. As things draw to a close, we would like to thank the following (in no particular order): Taylor Katcher, Kyrun Silva, Jake Waltier, Luke Terpeinen, Nicole Jekich, Jacqueline Nolis, André La Roche, Elijah Kaine, Josh Tobey, Mary Traverse, and even more friends who have joined our ranks along the way. Thank you for helping us build our voice within the nerd discourse and for allowing us to platform yours along the way.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>INFO:</strong></span></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Visit our website at forallintents.net and leave your thoughts as comments on the <a href= "http://forallintents.net/episode-20251107">page for this episode.</a></span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Social: Andrew - <a href="https://dice.camp/@profounddark">Mastodon</a>, D.

Arctic Paranoia
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>SILKSONG OF SILENCE:</strong> The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2D Metroidvania, Hollow Knight, released on Thursday, September 4, and was so popular that all major digital storefronts collapsed under the demand for the game.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>RETCON WHERE NO ONE HAS RETCONNED BEFORE:</strong> With Star Trek: Strange New Worlds dipping into the continuity of the original series, D. Bethel went even deeper and watched first-season episode of the original series, "The Menagerie, Part 1 & 2," to see the original (or second original appearance?) of Captain Pike and finds a lot to like and even more to admire.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>THE THING ABOUT THE THING:</strong> D. Bethel rounds out the episode talking about his experience reading the novella, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Goes_There%3F">Who Goes There?,</a> by John W. Campbell, which served as the basis for one of his favorite films, John Carpenter's The Thing, and was surprised at how faithful that adaptation was.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>TOPICS:</strong></p> <p>(0:00:00) Intro - Silksong breaks barriers</p> <p>(0:05:02) Star Trek, "The Menagerie, Parts 1 and 2," and its long-reaching implications</p> <p>(0:54:41) Outro - D.
