A Fistful of Misanthropes: Recent Episodes
Total Misanthropy
Video games, traditional and tabletop games, anime, movies, tv shows, and all that other stuff that falls in the realms of general geek-dom and nerd culture. Some people love this stuff so much they try to call it a "lifestyle" all of its own.
We don't.
We're a handful of misanthropic nerds/geeks/what have you, who love these things as much as we are sick of them all. We're here to bitch, moan, rant, rave, and generally tell you why we love to hate everything you love, and have a good time doing it.
We're a Fistful of Misanthropes, and we are serious about stupidity.

Now a group of Witchmarked heroes set out to try and redeem themselves of the witches' curse...

First, some sad news: due to technical malfunctions, corrupted data, and lack of backups, we've sadly lost some of our Warhammer actual-plays, so yes, ep 9 comes right after 7 I'm afraid. I'm really sorry about that folks. :(

Misanthropes at the Movies Episode 01 - Hackers
In this, quite frankly, bizarre edition of FoM, Kamen (Noah) suggested that we record the running commentary we make while watching the hilariously-bad 90s movie, "Hackers". Whether or not the result is worth listening to... you be the judge! Just make sure to WORK THE SHAFT!

Meadowland Acres is a suburban development originally established during the housing boom of the 1950s. Located on a large island tract, it was designed to offer both affordable prefabricated housing for the burdgeoning middle class of America, as well as upscale housing for the more well-to-do. 50 years ago, something happened, and now the island is abandoned, sealed from the outside world and forgotten by history. Only the locals remember it even exists, and they refer to it as "Death's Six Acres". Now a group of explorers have come to unravel the island's mysteries. The question is, will they ever be able to leave?...
