Check, Please!

In this week's episode, we discuss the limitations of our surroundings and meet some friends, old and new. The misuse of the brand is touched upon, as well as... "the lore", which never left. Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

At long last, it's the thrilling conclusion to our three-part Call of Cthulhu game where we ran the scenario "The Rise of Xnaaki" from the Unbound Book, no longer available to the best of my knowledge! The Wretched Beast, Stephen and our most excellent friends (of the show) Will M, JJ Hawkins (of Mars Needs Podcasts) and Aaron Fever (AaronFever.com's own) bring their talents up against the forces at work in Steeplin County. In this session, we take a boat ride and practice throwing a pillow. Featuring: The Wretched Beast as Games Master Stephen as Beauford Loren-Smith, hot-blooded dilettante. Aaron Fever as Arthur Francis Allen, grumpy scholar of the occult. JJ Hawkins as Rebecca Church, stoic private investigator. Will M as Ingrid Hamm, artist with shady connections.

Yes, the rumours (that we brought up in the previous episodes) are true! Last week, the Wretched Beast, Stephen, and their friends (of the show) Will M, JJ Hawkins (@JJHawkins on Twitter) and Aaron Fever (@AaronFever) joined together with a dark purpose: to play the roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu. In this session, we attend an auction, and board a train! Featuring: The Wretched Beast as Games Master Stephen as Beauford Loren-Smith, hot-blooded dilettante. Aaron Fever as Arthur Francis Allen, grumpy scholar of the occult. JJ Hawkins as Rebecca Church, stoic private investigator. Will M as Ingrid Hamm, artist with shady connections.

Recording on a Monday and we, your ever faithful hosts, just don't know anymore. Have an episode, on us. Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

The New Year! Ahh, what a time to be alive. This week, we spent many of our precious minutes on Earth talking about a movie that neither of us seems to have watched. Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

In an ironic delayed-release-Christmas-Miracle™, Stephen manages to get this Christmas special up on time. This year, it seems, we couldn't miss this one. Happy boxing day! Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

Content warning: this episode contains some sorta allusions to gun violence and possible self-harm? Just uh, y'know, as an FYI. It's totally okay to skip this one! Dedicated to Margaret Hamilton. Listen, we didn't think it would come to this. Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

A thoroughly offensive (or at least in-bad-taste) episode. Truly a new low for us, as content creators and YouTube personalities.

Every episode a banger... and this one in particular! Sorry about all the desk pounding near the end. Things get heated and the ski gloves come off in what is, once again, a very hostile episode of Check, Please! Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

The countdown is finally over, as we arrive at our raunchiest, lewdest and crudest episode of Check, Please! yet! This is by no means your daddy's Check, Please! But what -is- your daddy's Check, Please!? We discuss. Further to this, we talk about... Uh. I mean, I guess we say "nice" a lot? It's the Check, Please! you know and love, only if they were more tired than usual and tried to make weed jokes for half an hour for some reason.

Are you sitting comfortably? In this episode, we penultimate the countdown with a lot of talk about using bathrooms. It's - I don't -think- we get too gross? But, y'know, I mean. We took a week off, please forgive us. Please forgive us for our transgressions. I think we also talked about Google Maps and the TV show "Terrace House". Tune in for our realest episode yet, as we push the parasocial boundary to its limit! Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

The question isn't if this was a good episode or not, the question is whether or not it ever had a chance. Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

Hey, are you familiar with the Metal Gear Solid games? No? Well... Uhh... In this episode, we give a long, quiet sendoff to the videogame series which one host has fallen out of love with, and the other is just starting to know. Sorry if you haven't played these games, I guess? They're kind of weirdly interesting, which I guess is sort of the premise of doing this episode, but I'm not sure how interesting they'll be to most people. So, y'know, if you're interested: this episode is here! We talked about the Metal Gear Solid games. Hope you enjoy the episode! Theme music: Kaissa (Karpov Not Kasparov) / CC BY-NC-SA 3.0

Kept you waiting, huh? Check, Please! Podcast is back with an all-new season and an all-new gimmick and spin! But don't worry, we still have all the same endless talk on the minutiae of the Harry Potter and Star Wars series that you have come to know and love from us, your favourite pop culture gurus. Catch up with your old friends as the countdown continues! Also, sorry it took so long, hopefully the bumper-length episode will make up for it. Catch you later!
