AGP#144 – Blaseball! It's Baseball with an L! with Elliot Trinidad and Cassandra Lugo

The forbidden book has been opened and the umpire’s eyes are
glowing red. That’s right, it’s time to play ball! Former
Crunchyroll host Elliot Trinidad (@nameoftheyear) and game
designer Cassandra Lugo (@prophet_goddess) join Evan to plodcast
about the surrealist virtual splorts betting
game-slash-collaborative fiction project Blaseball. Plus a bunch
of Nintendo and anime news, entirely too much Gundam talk for a
podcast without Pat on it, and Pathologic 2! Topics include:
Zelda battle royale games, dropping an asteroid on the Earth is
good actually, and flootball.

limited release window; Super Mario Bros. 35, a Tetris
99-esque battle royale game (also limited availability); and
a Switch re-release of Super Mario 3D World.

Irresponsible Captain Tylor with a confusing,
Kickstarter-style pre-order scheme.
