The title up there says this is The GachaPod. Listen… that’s not the real name. That’s the name we can say and use on services like iTunes without a stern talking to. You’ll hear the real name of this show at the start of the podcast. We’ll have a rotating cast across this sporadically updated …
Capitalism is the enemy and objective once again with this week’s episode of The Genius, as the contestants tackle investment and charity, and trying to maximize profits while avoiding seeming like a scumbag. It definitely has a sort of Stormy Stock Market feel, but with its own spin on the idea. Then we head to …
Finally! A good DM this season! It’s a shame it came paired with a less good Main Match, but, you have to take the good with the bad. It’s a good opportunity to talk about Dongmin, reflect on Sangmin, and wonder at what point teasing becomes bullying, and psychological pressure becomes cruelty. It’s a difficult …
I have never bought any stock. Partially because I’ve never had the money to spare, but also I just am not that sort of risk-taking person.

You see the name, you’re expecting something like Scamming Horse Race, yeah? Boy. This is a lot more confusing, believe you me. It’s good? Mostly? But jeeeeez. Even the DEALERS can’t keep up with the rules! Then, guess what… we get to play Black and White 2 again. Will there EVER be a season of …
Well now, THIS is more like it. The Genius is back with a vengeance as our players compete in a rousing game of Resista- err, I mean, “Jury Game.” Who can be trusted, and who’s a criminal? And can you, perhaps, even trust a criminal? Dongmin’s in charge, Hyunmin’s making plays, and Yongsuk and Kyunghoon …
New season, new players, new layout to the ol’ Genius house! But… something’s wrong. Do… do these people suck? =\ =/ =| Well, for now, let’s just talk about the games, I suppose.
