"Live" from Squad Goals - Team tournament tips and tactics
The crew gets into some timey-wimey nonsense, as this episode is being posted while most of the crew is competing at Squad Goals in Chicago, an amazing three-player team tournament. Did we record it live as they were playing, or was it pre-recorded? We'll never say ...
We talk about the different types of team tournaments, how they work, roster strategies, in-tournament strategies, and everything else you'll need to be ready for *your* next team tournament.
Don't forget about Omaha's big local tournament coming up, the Bugeater. The tournament is May 31 - June 02, at Millard West High School. It's going to have a team tournament, an LVO-qualifyer Challenger event, and some wacky stuff on Sunday. Get your tickets and more information here.

Crisis deep dive, extract edition
The crew concludes our two-part series taking a deep dive on crisis selection, this time focusing on extracts. We discuss strategies for each, when you should choose each one, how you respond if you get put into one, and why Researcher is the best crisis in the game.
Don't forget that we will announce the winner of our next raffle, Gwenom and Scarlet Spider (although we settled on Benom for the celebrity tabloid name), the winner to be announced in episode 9.
We also talked about Omaha's big local tournament coming up, the Bugeater. The tournament is May 31 - June 02, at Millard North High School. It's going to have a team tournament, an LVO-qualifyer Challenger event, and some wacky stuff on Sunday. Get your tickets and more information here.

Crisis deep dive, secure edition
The crew starts a two-part series as a deep dive on the different crisis cards in the game. This episode is a discussion about secures - how they play, what rosters to take them with, how to game plan if you have a bad matchup, and more.
We also announced the winner of our JP commission giveaway winner, as well as the new giveaway - Gwenom and Scarlet Spider, the winner to be announced in episode 9.

What did we learn from Adepticon 2024?
This year's Adepticon was the first really big Crisis Protocol event after the new Core Box, character updates, and CGR nerf, so the crew dove into the results and statistics and tried to find out what we've learned about the state of the game. There were some things that we saw coming (cough Hellfire cough) and some surprises, with the biggest takeaway perhaps being the overall health of the game.
We also announced our winner of the first Witty Banter giveaway! We are looking forward to doing more and more of these as we go on, as a thank-you to all the webheads out there listening and supporting us.
We also would love you to come to Omaha for this year's Bugeater Grand Tournament! We will be hosting three days of Crisis Protocol fun from May 31 - June 02, 2024. Friday will be a team tournament event, Saturday will be an LVO qualifying Contest of Champions, and Sunday will be some funsies for those of us not making the top cut. Check out the details and get tickets at https://bugeatergames.com

The rules about rulers
In this week's episode, the crew thanks our new Patreon supports and gives you, webheads, your last reminder before our first giveaway! You can get in on the fun by leaving us a review and a comment and sending us a screenshot, as well as being a Patreon!
We then talk about our experience at the Big Beef Beatdown, which is the first data point for how the game has been affected by CGR's nerf and the inclusion of the new mutant characters.
We then get into a discussion about contrast paints. We don't exactly decide whether they're awesome or cheating, but we do share a lot of thoughts and ideas on how best to use them.
In our Headline, we take a deep-dive into how to properly use the movement and range tools during a game. It's an easy area to get wrong! The crew helps make sure you understand the rules, gives suggestions on how to observe them in a way that keeps the game fun, and gives some clever hacks on ways to use the tools to your advantage.

Ranking the six new mutant characters
Big news, webheads, we have started our first giveaway! Some lucky webhead will win a mutant box of their choice. You get an entry (or entries) by being a Patreon, and by leaving us a rating and review. Get to it, webheads!
We also debut a new series, Who's Your Sabertooth? JP talks about an unexpected string of losses that came from Patrick's Sabertooth, and how it became an inside joke about characters you just always and inexplicably fare badly against. The rest of the crew talked about who their Sabertooth was, and we'd like to hear yours, webheads!
Once we get to the meat of the show, the crew talks about characters they'd like to see in the game, then dives into ranking the six new mutant characters (no, not those New Mutants) released by AMG.

Cosmic Ghost Rider Gets the Nerfhammer!
You're welcome, webheads! It only took one episode of Witty Banter to go live for AMG to give Cosmic Ghost Rider the nerf he so desperately needed. In our Headline segment, we discuss just how poor Frank was nerfed, whether AMG overdid it, and how to play (and play against) the new CGR.
We also have heard from you, webheads! We answer a question and dojo a roster sent in after last episode. Keep 'em coming!
Finally, for those in the Omaha area or would like to visit (which you should!) we shout-out the Big Beef Beatdown, a one-day LVO qualifier.
