Building a Classic Game Emulator

Brian told Jason that he really wanted to do an episode on immolation. They were both pretty excited about it, but I think there must have been some miscommunication.

The Mechanics of a Hollywood Pyrotechnic Blast

While we were shooting the exploding propane tanks with a shotgun episode, we decided to take a moment to explain exactly how we were going to get the big climactic explosion. It didn't really make sense to squeeze it into the actual episode, but it does seem to make sense as its own little standalone video.

This video will go public in about 3 days or so, enjoy!

Episode: Understanding Steaks and How to Cook Them

Finally, the "how to get rid of a body" episode!

Just kidding. ...or am I?

Making PVC Blowguns

Brian and Jason were going to make a DIY breathalyzer but they got as far as breathing into a tube when they realized they could just invent a new type of weapon. Some sort of... breathgun.

Modern Rogue Update: November 2017

This week's episode is delayed by a few days, so now's a good time to talk about the shop and NUMBERS. We go a bit over channel numbers, time distribution, and patreon reward fulfillment.

Episode: Krav Maga vs. Assault Rifle

Brian opened up the command console, typed in the code 'smurfme' which turned all the weapons blue, but then the computer turned off in the middle of a save, which they really warn you not to do, and it un-digitized all of the weapons. So what better to do with a surplus of extraordinarily blue weapons, than learn how to defend yourself against them.

Episode: How to Hide Top-Secret Data in All Your Photos

Jason logged onto Brian's computer to look up Brodyquest but he couldn't move the mouse without accidentally clicking on something lewd, improper, embarrassing, or incriminating. It's time Brian learned how to hide files inside of other files, for you know, safekeeping.

summary: This week on Pair of Normal Rogues, Brian and Jason investigate a haunted wizard tower built on sacred land. There's something off about the caretakers of the tower, have these paranormal events driven them mad? ... or are these accounts of the supernatural just a product of their madness?

Episode: Understanding German Beer

So Rubio had some time on his hands, and German beer in them, so he concocted a devious scheme to perfectly re-create past Beerists-Modern Rogue episodes down to everybody wearing the exact same clothes, sporting the same beard progressions, all against the warehouse in as much disarray and just as disheveled as it was four months ago -- but this time, they have the German beer to drink.

Episode: How to Survive a Knife Attack

Brian and Jason just kept yelling "KRAV MAGA!" while walking up and down populated streets in Austin until a qualified professional offered to teach them if they would just stop shouting.

Should go without saying, yet here we are: don't be a jerk, use the system to defend yourself and don't just go attacking people.

Episode: How Speech Jamming Works

Most people don't know this, but Jason was the two time back-to-back copycat world champion. He used to be able to mimic languages that hadn't been invented yet! But that all changed with the digital revolution. Suddenly people weren't so impressed with a kid from the burbs with a mouth like a mirror now that a computer could do it too, and with higher fidelity. It's been a hard road but he's finally at a place where he can talk about that experience, and maybe... even have a machine repeat him ...

Episode: The Classiest Jello Shot on the Planet

Trever left us to travel the world so that he could be trained a lost art in forgotten tongues. He scaled snow-covered crests and traversed ancient underground labyrinths in search of the gatekeepers. It was only after finding these Chosen Few, after many months of harrowing exploration, did he come to know the One Truth. Just outside the Temple of Exile, a place and time for which Trever knew he could never return, the eldest Few lay weak on his death bed. In his final moments, he confided in T...
