Hosts Nick Jarin and Dyer Oxley start things off with a round-up of nerdy news, including a major esports event leaving Seattle for Vancouver and why Washington has become a crypto-mining hotspot. Then, they warp through some other news bites before playing Dyer’s feature story, which focuses on Twitch streamers and the harassment that they face. Later, Dyer quizzes Nick on some Superman history. Nick pays off the last quiz bet with some reactions to Star Trek: The Next Generation. They wrap things up with a quick conversation with organizers from the Washington State Toy and Geek Fest. 3:30 -- Seattle loses Dota 2 tournament to Vancouver6:15 -- Crypto-mining in Washington11:50 -- Washington passes net neutrality law15:20 -- News Warp: Luke Cage trailer16:30 -- News Warp: Avengers: Infinity War21:15 -- News Warp: Jon Favreau’s Star Wars23:10 -- News Warp: Fantastic Beasts: The Dumbledore One24:15 -- News Warp: The real Wakanda27:45 -- Feature: Twitch 47:20 -- Quiz: Superman1:01:15 -- Payoff: Star Trek: TNG1:1
