Welcome back BATT Family! This week we have a wide ranging conversation about games that we both unintentionally brought to the conversation that had us making a surprising amount of weird noises to. We talk publishers that we love, publishers that don't work us, and games from a publisher we love that didn't work for us. Thanks so much for waiting those extra few hours for this one, it wasn't the most pleasant thing to have to re-edit half of it, but the episode ultimately came out stronger for it.

--- Notes!
1) When Mark said Atlas: Sovereign Rising he meant Atlas Lost: Rise of the New Soverigns. He's still actively looking for it too if you've got a copy you're willing to part with.
2) In the intervening time since we recorded this, Moonrollers did shift down to a trade for Mark and has left his collection.
3) Scott during the game he brought for his Table makes a comment that goes "We sat there and went" and then Mark responds with that's a bummer. As it turns out that was an entirely visual response that had no other commentary made about it in either of the recorded files. I guess we forgot we were an audio medium for a second. Sorry!
4) Mark went back and forth based on whether to leave the small post-modern commentary bit in near the end of the TST segment. It isn't intended to be a moment to cause contention in any way, but it was ultimately felt to be a way to discuss how we are allowed to respond and react to popular culture in a way we feel is most within our own control. There are very, very good reasons to disagree with that particular author and we can safely say that neither of us support their views and that it was more important to make it clear that we have our own opinions and feelings regarding them instead of censoring ourselves in a way that would have felt disingenuous.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
