On a relaxing Thanksgiving week (posted the next week because Jonathan started vomiting for days shortly after this was recorded), Jonathan chats with Ryan about videogames over a refreshing cherry Pepsi and a delicious bag of chips. What starts with Jonathan trying to talk about Marvel vs. Capcom 2 quickly shifts around to discussing Angry Birds (the movie, that should really get a videogame adaptation some day), and the Adventure Time/Minecraft crossover episode that Jonathan completely missed in the show's original run. Ryan offers up a few campaign slogans and also delivers the hard hitting facts about fraudulent YouTubers and difference between the ways fake and realistic crimes are depicted in the media. 0:00:00 - Cherry Pepsi and Potato Chips 0:01:04 - Marvel vs. Cat 0:03:31 - Before Minions Were Minions 0:05:18 - The Cat Report 0:05:32 - Ryan's New Videogame Idea: Angry Birds 0:07:49 - Forgetting You're a Kid Sometimes 0:08:40 - Here's How You Draw Like a Kid Again 0:09:10 - What Is Angry Birds? 0:10:18 - Ryan's Agry Birds Card Game, Based on the Toys 0:11:45 - The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Card Game 0:15:00 - Do Kids Know About Shovel Knight? 0:15:40 - Slayaway Camp: Concerning for Teachers 0:16:50 - The K.K.
