I play Dungeons & Dragons on Adventure is Nigh!
I watch bad movies on Best of the Worst.
I perform Improv Comedy at Comedy Sportz.
And somehow, I still think I’m pretty cool.

Maybe if we let tech companies think they invented it, we could get episodic television back.
“It’s called… a micro-arc, an entire season’s plot-line distilled down into one episode.”
