MOSTLY RIDICULOUS POWER FANTASY ANIME FOR ESCAPISM

INTRODUCTION TO MONSTER HUNTER 
An introduction to the fantasy action role-playing game franchise Monster Hunter. The Monster Hunter: World game (2018) currently is the single highest-selling game in the video game company Capcom’s history, and in February 2025, the newest installment will be releasing with much anticipation. The panel will cover the games that have come before, the differences between them, approaches to game play, basic mechanics, reasons to start playing, and what makes the game so fun and addicting. Monster Hunter has always had a niche, but dedicated, following in the west prior to World‘s explosive debut, and is only going to get bigger. Happy hunting! Hosted by Kaitou-al.

SECRET LESSONS OF VIDEO GAMES
Video games are an increasingly popular pastime for people of all ages and we *usually* think of of them as forms of escapism or ways to relax but … are our games SECRETLY teaching us things?! Outside of the ‘obvious’ sort of cases (e.g. Carmen Sandiego, Mario is Missing, … Crosswords, etc.), let’s explore the surprisingly true lessons hidden within our games (e.g. Zero Escape teaching about modulus math via digital roots).Hosted by Nick T. of The Zeal Archives Podcast

WARNING INCOMING DRINKS
Have you been finding the real world a bit hard to bear this year? Perhaps you’d rather live inside a mainframe? Perhaps with enough alcohol, we can get you there. Let’s all travel to a time called the 90s when CGI was new and Canada was at the forefront of it. Warning: incoming drinks. NB: No need to have seen ReBoot (but you should, it’s great!) and no worries if you don’t drink, AND we have mocktails too if you don’t drink! Hosted by Teri and Kia’arra
GET THE GROCERY LIST!
Note: We have organized the ingredients in no particular order to avoid spoilers. In case you want to follow along with only one or two of these drinks rather than buying a whole mini-bar worth of alcohol, you can click on the SPOILER link to get a list organized by drink.

NEURODIVERGENT STRATEGIES
Let’s talk about tips, tricks, and strategies to make stuff (e.g. cosplay, art, music, photography, streaming) when you’re neurodivergent!

Presented by a late-diagnosed ADHD person who supports an autistic partner. Nick T. of The Zeal Archives Podcast
