0:32:55. BQotW
BQotW #273: What was your biggest "headache" at work?
BQotW #274: What is your favorite twist in a book, movie, game, play, or TV show (one year old or older for spoilers sake)?

0:59:42. Douggie Sharp. Another movie question, why do people get upset about tropes or at least view them negatively? A lot of times tropes are the foundation of the genre, like a Hallmark Christmas movie, you know what you are going to get. So why the negative view on them? 

1:06:09. Rival Guy. Scott: What do you wish you knew before you moved to England? Both about preparing for the move itself, and for life in the UK.

1:16:53. Casey Lee. You guys okay? How are you weathering everything?

1:19:26. James Peters. With Blizzcon online this year, and the resounding feedback being "This could have been an e-mail", I was wondering what conventions really do benefit from happening in person. On the other hand, what conventions or other large in-person events do you feel really SHOULD be digital only going forward?

1:24:31. Rob MacLennan. Along the same lines, is there a specific thing or type of tech interface that you think should be added to virtual cons that no one seems to be using? 

1:26:29. Douggie Sharp. Did you ever watch Mayans M.C., and was it any good?
+ The Great North (IMDB)

1:30:36. Brad McGowan. What do you think of the M1 chip, specifically its CPU and GPU technology?
