Like all Fear the Boot bonus episodes, this show is neither edited nor on our usual subject.  So if this is your first time here, we recommend checking out a regular episode first.

This episode is a review of Anime Central, which was attended by Adam and Melina.  Adam also put together a short film, which you can find here.

While there's no profanity or explicit material in this episode, it does deal with some sexual themes, so please use discretion when playing it.

In this interview we talk with Shamus Young, author of the web comic, DM of the Rings, a parody of Lord of the Rings, presented as if the movie was the plot of an RPG.

His website: http://www.shamusyoung.com
His comic: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?cat=14

During the show, we mention an episode we recorded 30 minutes ago.  That show is episode 51, which will be released next week.

Guests: Shamus Young

Though we've gotten out of the habit, we want to do something different every 10th episode.  Since episode 50 falls pretty close to our one-year anniversary, we spend this show looking back on the first year of the show.

I assure you this is not a highlight reel of clips from previous shows, nor do we rehash old topics.  Instead we talk about the things that have happened off mic, the phases the show has gone through, and how it's changed us as people.

If you're interested in the gaming talk, but not the show itself, this is probably not an episode for you.  Skip over it and catch up with us again on episode 51.  Otherwise, stick around for a look at what it's like to make Fear the Boot.
