G30 35: You Have Died of Dysentery

Geek:30 Happy Hour | Celebrating Craft Beer and Geek Culture

Dysentery, Cholera, Typhoid Fever, Measles, Diphtheria... These are all things Alex and JoJo ran into in the cult classic, Oregon Trail. We bring on Alex Mac, ANOTHER Alex, onto the show to discuss the recent release of a card game based on Oregon Trail. http://www.popsugar.com/tech/Oregon-Trail-Card-Game-42117544 Alex was awesome enough to bring a growler of Live-Work-Play IPA from Lake Anne Brew House, a local Nano-Brewery in Reston. http://lakeannebrewhouse.com/whats-on-tap/ We then discuss the ethics behind having a pair of robot hands prepare your food for you in your own kitchen for a mere £10,000! What a steal! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNy6fEuPWbc And what if George R.R. Martin has a bigger world than Game of Thrones? One that is closer to completion and has over 22 books worth of materials? Would you watch it? http://io9.gizmodo.com/an-even-bigger-george-r-r-martin-universe-could-be-com-1784938687 Finally, we present our Geek:30 Question of The Week: Who is your favorite villain? Join in on the conversation to get a shout out on the show! -Cheers!
