Episode 256 - Using and creating weapons in fiction
Feb 1, 2016
Tantz Aerine, Banes and Ozoneocean discuss the topic of using and creating weapons in fiction and some of the pitfalls involved- all the things you can easily do wrong and do better! Stuff like using overly specialised weapons in too general a role, like giant swords where they'd be next to useless, or tricked out assault rifles with way too many things hooked onto them so they're oversized and weight a ton- also copying ideas and tropes about weapons usage without understanding why the exist and in the process making many of the same mistakes as others have in the past.

HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah Bloody Banes and his good ideas about moving the Quackcasts around. I couldn't be bothered to match the original sound for the 256 XD

I just can't wait for the debut of the unbelievably massive steam-powered spatula 'Big Bertha' in Bottomless Waitress. The over-dubbed "256" at the end cracked me up.
