On this episode of Society Game... well. Look above. You might get the picture. In wake of this, we resort to drastic measures to keep the episode discussion segment lively. But the mystery needs no such help. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing Scanline-chan as the Bandage Man, and consider checking out more of Bitmap's work! A big and very special thank you to our guest voices Crasspants, Ivy, Jen, June, Kyrie, and Magellan.

Well, see... NOW it's a season of The Garnet Wager. I (Six) may not be any hotter on the show we're covering than last time, but the plot threads are being woven. We're solving a murder. We're talking to (fictitious) government officials. And who could forget the semi-headless chicken. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager!

The Garnet Wager returns to extend its reach beyond the confines of the Genius for another season of Korean TV, meta-narratives, and garbage. This season, we're watching Society Game, a product of the same mind that brought us The Genius. It's a slow start for this show, but perhaps this one can win us over. If not, well... I have some ideas, let's say. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing Scanline-chan as the Bandage Man, and consider checking out more of Bitmap's work!

We're about to take ourselves a break, having finished The Genius and our big silly story. But before we do, we just wanted to have one last chat. Not keeping kayfabe, just talking about making this ridiculous season of podcast. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager!

And so ends a very long journey. For the Genius and its contestants, for us, for the Bandage Man and friends. And enemies, too. A new journey will open before us err long. But for now, thanks for riding with us... to the end. There is no more The Genius. But there will be more The Garnet Wager. If you want to play Fantasy Genius with us, we've got everything you need!

There are two episodes left of season 4 of The Genius, and of season 5 of The Garnet Wager. How did we get here? How did a show that started with a simple goal of fusing competition with show-watching become this meta-narrative nightmare? Let's rewind the clock. This is how we got from here... to there. This episode produced and edited by Nick.

The end approaches, for this season, for the Genius, for the stupid meta-narrative we've layered into the podcast this season. Player-invited guests bring us a dynamic and delightful main match of matchstick puzzles and poker, and then yet MORE poker in perhaps the most tense DM I've ever seen. All this, plus a discussion of a truly absurd Kamen Rider movie. Saddle up! If you want to play Fantasy Genius with us, we've got everything you need!

I guess I'm ok with main matches that are sequels to previous ones, but having the sequel in the SAME SEASON as the first iteration? That gets some side-eye from me. I mean, if you take our homework for instance, Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004, those two games were a year and a half apart and THAT felt fast. I know, apples and oranges. But. Also, the DM was boring this week, booo. If you want to play Fantasy Genius with us, we've got everything you need!

We're back with more of The Genius! It's time for a reworked repeat game, both for Main Match and Death Match. We also talk about a forgotten cyberpunk classic in Strange Days, and talk about how a movie that was politically prescient in 1995 feels a bit dated in 2021.
