Summary

Market research tells us that the median SU&SD reader is, at a given moment, most likely to be thatching their mead hall. How boring! You'd best pop our 33rd ever podcast on in the background.

Matt and Quinns are desperate to talk about their crippling Infinity habit, while Paul's been playing the beloved game of Battlecon. We've got a quick interview with Fantasy Flight CEO Christian Petersen where he answers such lovely questions as "What happens to board games that don't sell" and "What is the most stressful thing about your job". And we receive an email from Brooklyn-based SU&SD fan Nate Kushner titled The Sad Room.

The fun never stops! The thatching shouldn't either, though. Chop chop.

Infinity, BattleCON

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the 33rd ever episode of Shut Up and Sit Down. The podcast,
0:12.5	a podcast thought about board games, card games and all the other little wonderful little analog
0:16.4	things, games you can take into your house. What a day I've got. I've got the number 33
0:20.5	tattooed onto both of my calves to celebrate. That was a terrible idea. When do you
0:25.0	get a cast from I bought them from a butcher. Well, that was a that was a that was a reach. That
0:32.8	was quite a thing. You guys see the county chime in new new cream to remove tattoos.
0:38.4	You're going to say to remove cows to remove cows. Slather the cream on them. Paul, I got
0:44.7	to I got to tell you all about a game I've been playing. What is it? It's a game called Infinity.
0:50.3	It's Matt and I have actually both been playing this. So we'll talk about it. I tell you what I
0:55.4	have heard about it. I read about it on the Shut Up and Sit Down website. Yeah, it's good. We've
1:00.0	got an incredible new Nebraska writing about miniatures games for us. Eric Eric Tonjes.
1:07.2	Keep hearing about that new Nebraska. He's way better than the old Nebraska we had. I don't know
1:12.4	why we always need one, but we do. Yeah, he's great. He just just turned in some perfect copy and I
1:17.7	said, do you want to write for us? And he went, yeah. So he's going to do also an interesting game
1:21.6	called Manifone next time, which is super problematic miniatures, but kind of crazy, weird,
1:25.6	wild west, horrible, weird cowboys running around. But that's for the future. For now, we've got
1:31.2	we've got Infinity. Paul, why don't you do a set of Parkinson's and ask me and Matt really
1:35.3	difficult questions about Infinity? Okay. Are you ready? Here we go. So when I was young,
1:44.1	and when I was growing up, there was Warhammer everywhere. There's like, War Machine is around
1:51.0	now. War Machine's doing pretty well. Eric wrote about War Machine. I remember there being like
1:56.2	a whole bunch of Wargaming stuff, historical Wargaming stuff, as well being around in the 80s
