It's that magical time of year again where cosplayers roam the streets, and we get drunk and roam the Comic Con floor and say things we'll probably regret later. Later as in now.

It's Dan, Dirk, Andy, James, and Dave with a smattering of battles with people dressed as things.

COMIC CON 2015 WOOOOOOOOO.

Dan - "I'm drunk, James, do you wanna write the copy for this week's episode."

James - "Yesh."

It's that time y'all! Andy brings his pitiful bunch of nobodies: Cthulhu, Gypsi Danger, and Buckaroo Banzai in an attempt to ruin this episode. Dan fronts with his crew: Mad Max (not the cool new one), One of the Battletoads, and the awesome Geralt of Rivia so he can try and seem relevant. James However knows how to pick some characters. James’ posse consists of agent extraordinaire Ari Gold, the unkillable Jason Vorhees, and the granddaddy of them all Mickey Mouse. If James doesn't win this it rigged. Battlecast urbody!!

Make sure you've updated to the latest version of Battlecast to avoid compatibility issues.

Warning: Dirk's 5 week plan.

Today on the show James ruins everything. Poor planning on his part left us having to delay for the Battle Royale for which we're all waiting. That'll be next week. In the meantime, we bring you a whole buncha good topics such as Corn Nuts, older ladies, and thoughts on the Oculus Rift.

For the battle itself, Dan and Andy butt their buttheads twice in a row for two quick-fought fights. First it's Zorro (Dan) vs Robin Hood of Men in Tights (Andy), and then it's Parappa the Rapper (Andy) vs Crash Bandicoot (Dan).

All we wanna do is have some fun. Until the sun comes up over Battlecast Boulevard.

Warning: Stinky snackfoods are stinky.

Today on the show we welcome esteemed guests and damn fine podcast moguls, Anthony Silva and Ashley Taylor of the Pixelated Geek network. You've probably heard us talk about these two before. They're rad.

Andy wusses out and makes Anthony battle for him (ok really Anthony just wanted to battle. Big time.), and he chose everyone's favorite Street Fighter, Ryu (Anthony4Andy). Dan chose one of his favorite team of NES originating amphibians, The Battletoads (Dan). And what an odd twist of events! We're battling in the completely unexpected floor of E3?!? WHADDUYAH KNOW!!!

Careful of the thorns. Battlecast has a lot of pricks.

Warning: Apple or PC?

Did you guys hear?! Nintendo is going to build a wing at Universal Studios. Whaaaaaaat?

So needless to say, that's our battleground this week. It's cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter (James) vs. this super obscure 80s movie character that Andy apparently is real into all of a sudden, Buckaroo Bonzai (Andy).

Something something something Battlecast.

Warning: Conjecture and hear-say.

Dan's drunk so he's gonne keep this short. Ari Gold (James) from Entourage vs. Harry Hart (Dan) from Kingsman. Two subjectively bomb-ass pieces of fiction. Go watch them. The battleground is Big Trouble in Little China. Andy's on an 80s kick.

Put the lime in the Battlecast and drink it all up.

Warning: Probably more porn talk. Sorry.

WE LOVE ANNEKE!!! Y'know, Dirk's fiance. Also a super heroine that will forever go unnamed. Butt-Stuff Girl! She's on the episode.

This week we do some things. Like eat candy and talk about racism and porn. Sounds boring right? WRONG! Dan is really not sober so he calls in his trusty Dirk to do his bidding. Andy chooses one of the greatest action stars that Gen X never knew it missed, Kung Fury (Andy). Dirk picks the bro-tagonist from the game that everyone is raving about right now, Geralt of Rivia (Dirk) aka The Witcher. James spun the wheel that definitely exists and it put us in Quahog, Rhode Island- the home of the Griffin Family from the ever-polarizing Family Guy.

Ten thousand years in a Battlecast will give you such a crick in the neck! See a chiropractor before symptoms worsen.

Warning: Olympic-level Candy Mouth-Catching

Hey you guys! A girl was on the show again!!! However she is married. And she's James's sister. Time for some dirt, right? Mayyyyyybe.

Today's battle pits the famous video game character from Kingdom Hearts, Mickey Mouse (James) vs. that dragon thing from those Peter Jackson movies, Smaug (Andy). Dan just watched Chappie, so we added Neill Blomkamp's South Africa/District 9 to the wheel and whadduyuh know, it picked itself.

4 out of 5 dentists choose Battlecast. And the 5th one brushes with baking soda. Ew.

Warning: TOO MUCH "HOMEWARD BOUND" TALK IS THE EXACT RIGHT AMOUNT

<3 <3 <3 Thanks for listening, thanks for telling a friend, thanks for rating us on iTunes, and thanks for being a candid nazi sympathizer. <3 <3 <3

"OHHHH NOOOOO JAMES ISN'T THERE!? THAT SUUUUUCKS!!!11" said no one ever. JK we love James. Almost as much as when he isn't there. Burrrrrn. But in all seriousness, Battlecast. Lol right?

Dan picks one of his favorite characters evvvvvver and the protagonist of one of the bombest trilogies of Australian New Wave cinema to date, Mad Max (Dan). Dirk is sitting in for James in his absence and picks a character James is sure to hate, Jon Snow (Dirk). Who cares though because Jon Snow is the bomb ass dank ass gangster level boom boom. Oh yeah, and it allll goes down at Elon Musk's Tesla Gigafactory.

Don't forget to charge the batteries, Battlecast really drains the juice.

Warning: THE AUDIO IS ALL F'ED UP AT THE END WE'RE SORRY SORRY SOZ

<3 <3 <3 Thanks for listening, thanks for telling a friend, thanks for rating us on iTunes, and thanks for being a distant relative's HBOGO account. <3 <3 <3

Who the hell is Gypsy Danger (Andy) you rightfully ask? The main Jaeger from Pacific Rim. Yes, that ol' rat-fink Andy is holding true to his commitment to piss James off by being only gigantic characters in this season of Battlecast. Dan on the other hand is still picking totally fair and well-balanced characters such as DIABLO (Dan) THE LORD OF ALL THE FEIRY PITS OF HELL AND SUCH.

Surgeon General Warning: Shake well before opening, this episode contains artificial humorings.

Additional Warning: There's a lot of weird porn out there.
